The U.S. Army on Friday released a heavily redacted incident report of a “Simple Assault” during former President Donald Trump‘s contentious August visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where an employee trying to stop Trump staffers from taking pictures and filming was “abruptly pushed aside.”

The document, published on the website of the watchdog group American Oversight, contains seven pages with three lines about the incident in an executive summary.

“On 26 August 2024 at 1030 hours, the Joint Base Myer – Henderson Hall (JBM-HH), Police Department was notified by [redacted] of the following incident: While working at the Arlington National Cemetery, [redacted] with both of [redacted] his hands while attempting to move past [redacted] did not require medical attention on scene and later refused when offered. [Redacted] rendered a sworn statement on a DA Form 2823 and stated [redacted] did not want to press charges. Investigation continues by JBMHH PD Investigations Branch.”
