Arlington National Cemetery employee who was 'abruptly pushed aside' at Trump visit won't press charges: Army
Fox News
The U.S. Army says a staff member at Arlington National Cemetery was "pushed" by a Trump campaign official at Arlington National Cemetery.
"Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds. An ANC employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside," the Army said in a statement.

"Consistent with the decorum expected at ANC, this employee acted with professionalism and avoided further disruption. The incident was reported to the JBM-HH police department, but the employee subsequently decided not to press charges. Therefore, the Army considers this matter closed," the statement continued.
