Break the law...
...then deny, deny...
...and even claim that the person reporting it was having a "mental
health episode":
'Members of Donald J. Trumpâs campaign team and an official at Arlington
National Cemetery confronted each other during the former presidentâs
visit to the cemetery on Monday, the military cemetery said in a
statement on Tuesday.
The altercation was prompted, according to Trump campaign officials, by
the presence of a photographer in a section of the cemetery where
American troops who were killed in recent wars are buried. The cemetery
released a statement saying that federal law prohibits political
campaigning or âelection-relatedâ activities within Army cemeteries,
including by photographers.'

'An official with the cemetery tried to âphysically blockâ members of
Mr. Trumpâs team, Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, said in a
statement. Mr. Cheung added that the cemetery official was âclearly
suffering from a mental health episodeâ and that the campaign was
prepared to release footage of the confrontation to support its account
of the clash. The campaign did not provide that footage after several
requests.'
