There is video footage that totally exonerates Donald Trump and his campaign, his team claims, which if you only saw it would convince you that Democrats, the mainstream media and officials in charge of the nation’s most revered military cemetery are all lying when they suggest the former president’s MAGA entourage was abusive towards a woman who tried to stop them from filming a campaign ad on top of soldiers’ graves.
“We are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told NPR on Monday — ahead of a report that campaign staff had violated federal law by filming in Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery, where veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are buried. According the broadcaster, and subsequent reports from The Washington Post and The New York Times, Trump’s staff had been warned against using the cemetery for “partisan political activities,” a Department of Defense official confirmed, but then verbally harassed and physically brushed aside an employee who tried to enforce the same rules that apply to all visitors.
