The U.S. Army must release records related to a visit former President Donald Trump made to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia in August, after reports emerged of an alleged altercation between his campaign staffers and an official working at the cemetery.

Senior Judge Paul Friedman of the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia signed the order on Oct. 22 as part of a lawsuit bought by American Oversight, a Washington-based nonprofit organization. The group was founded in 2017 in response to what it says is the “unprecedented challenges that the Trump administration posed to our nation’s democratic ideals and institutions.”
