Donald Trump on Thursday issued his first reaction to the reported fight between his campaign officials and workers at the Arlington National Cemetery earlier this week. Earlier in the day, the US Army issued a stark rebuke to the Republican campaign, saying in a statement that participants in the ceremony 'were made aware of federal laws' regarding political activity at the cemetery. The army further confirmed that an Arlington Cemetery employee was 'abruptly pushed aside' during Trump's visit. The former president said that he was invited by Gold Star Families and he was requested to take photos at gravesites. The Republican nominee added that he doesn't 'need the publicity.'Read More: Did Donald Trump Say He Is A 'Big Fan' Of Hindus And India?
