Former President Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery to participate in a wreath laying ceremony in honor of the 13 U.S. service members killed in the attack on Abbey Gate outside an airport in Kabul.
Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday confirmed an incident took place when former President Donald Trump visited there the previous day to commemorate the three-year anniversary of the Abbey Gate attacks in Afghanistan. 'We can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed,' the statement read.
“There was no physical altercation as described and we are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made,” Cheung said in a statement. “The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump’s team during a very solemn ceremony.
