    Trump’s campaign spokesman Stephen Cheung flatly denied the physical confrontation allegation, saying his team was prepared to release footage to refute the “defamatory claims,”

    “We have proof, but you can’t see it. Trust me bro”

    But it sounds like the families said they gave trump permission…

    Which does not change the law against literally using dead soldiers for campaigning.

          Sure? But i am merely invoking the spirit of the law, and not the letter… which is that filming there puts words in the mouth of venerated dead.
