Burial of Medal of Honor recipient James McCloughan

Claims of disrespect, chaos

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — The Army says an Arlington National Cemetery worker was "pushed aside" by Trump administration aides as they made way for President Donald Trump at the burial of Medal of Honor recipient James McCloughan.

In a statement released Saturday, the Army said the worker was part of a team that was preparing for the arrival of the president's motorcade when the incident occurred.

The worker was "pushed aside" by Trump aides, the statement said, and "did not sustain any injuries."

The Army said it is "investigating the matter and will take appropriate action."
