The trump campaign staff that caused a stir at Arlington have been identified

NPR identified two trump campaign staffers involved in an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery last week. They, according to a source, are deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale and Michel Picard, a member of trump's advance team.

Those staffers had a verbal and physical confrontation with a cemetery official who tried to stop them from taking photos and videos in Section 60, a restricted area where many casualties of Iraq and Afghanistan are buried. The trump campaign and the US Army acknowledged the incident, but this week, trump insisted it didn't take place at all.
