WASHINGTON – The US military has released an almost entirely redacted version of the police report that describes when a Donald Trump campaign staffer allegedly pushed an Arlington National Cemetery employee who was trying to prevent them from photographing a ceremony honoring service members killed in the withdrawal from the war in Afghanistan.

Federal law prohibit campaign or election related activities within the national military cemeteries of the Army. The four sentences visible in the summary of the report, released Friday under court order, block out a key word that appears to describe the Trump campaign employee shoving the cemetery employee.

The Trump employee is said to have used both hands as he tried to push past the cemetery employee. Both names are redacted and the statement the cemetery worker gave to the police is completely black.

Officials previously said the former president’s employee pushed the cemetery worker as she tried to prevent two people from filming and taking photos Trump’s August visit to the graves in Section 60, a hallowed section where American forces killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are buried.

The report says the cemetery worker refused medical treatment and said she did not want to press charges.

A lawsuit seeking the release of the police report was filed by the Washington-based government transparency group American Oversight, and a federal judge ordered it to be made public by Friday. The the group posted the report on his website.

Trump, the one Republican presidential candidateis in a tight race against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, and the altercation has raised questions about his campaign’s politicization of the military.

Trump was at the cemetery at the invitation of service members’ families and brought staff to document the visit. He later shared a video of it on TikTok. The video showed scenes of him at the cemetery and includes a voiceover by the Republican presidential candidate blaming the Biden administration for the “disaster” of withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.

Chioma Chukwu, acting executive director of American Oversight, said in a statement that the group was pleased to be able to release the report so the public could see “that there is still an ongoing federal law enforcement investigation into the August incident at Arlington. The National Cemetery.”

Chukwu said the behavior of Trump and his staff “aligns with his history of politicizing the military and violating clear ethical boundaries, and it’s time for the public to have all the facts.”

In a letter accompanying the report, Army Senior Counsel Paul DeAgostino said the redactions were made to protect personal privacy and information compiled for law enforcement purposes. He said the records were part of an ongoing investigation and their release “could reasonably be expected to interfere with ongoing enforcement proceedings.”

The Army echoed DeAgostino’s comment, saying in a statement that it released the report to comply with the court order, adding that the police investigation “remains open and therefore we cannot provide additional information at this time.”

The employee declined to press charges, so it’s unclear what law enforcement procedures are underway.

The families of three service members killed in a suicide bombing during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan have invited Trump to a ceremony marking the third anniversary of the attack. They said the former president knew their children’s stories and blamed the Biden administration for their deaths.

Some of the families of those service members spoke in Trump’s support at the Republican National Convention in July, in part to address criticism that Trump has not supported veterans enough.

In earlier comments, the Trump campaign claimed that the Republican presidential candidate’s team was given access to have a photographer, disputed the allegation that a campaign member pushed the cemetery official and dismissed any suggestion that the cemetery official was unfairly targeted.

A defense official previously said the Trump campaign was warned not to take photos in Section 60 before their arrival and the altercation.

During a campaign event in Michigan days after the incident, Trump said family members asked to take a photo with him at the cemetery.

“They ask me to take a picture and say I was campaigning,” he complained without addressing the TikTok video.
