Justin Caporale will serve as Trump’s executive producer of major events in the second Trump Administration. The last time Caporale was involved in events for the Trump White House was January 6th, 2021. Caporale served as the “project manager” of the Ellipse Rally where Trump urged his supporters to march to the Capitol. More recently, Caporale was one of the two Trump staffers who verbally abused and pushed an Arlington National Cemetery worker after Trump’s team violated cemetery rules. Caporale left the White House in 2018 after serving in the First Lady’s Office because of an issue with his security clearance. Caporale is just another one of Trump’s appointees with personal problems and a history of enabling Trump’s worst instincts. |

Justin Caporale Was One Of Two Staffers Involved In Verbally Abusing Arlington National Cemetery Employee. According to NPR, "One of two staffers involved in the altercation at Arlington National Cemetery is a deputy campaign manager for Donald Trump's reelection bid, NPR has learned. The former president insisted this week the incident did not happen, highlighting a growing disconnect between the messaging of the candidate and his campaign. NPR is identifying both staffers after the campaign's conflicting responses to the incident last week outside Section 60 of the cemetery, where many casualties of Iraq and Afghanistan are buried. The two staffers, according to a source with knowledge of the incident, are deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale and Michel Picard, a member of Trump's advance team. [...] After Trump participated in a wreath laying ceremony on the third anniversary of the deadly bombing at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. service members, Trump visited Section 60 at the invitation of some family members and friends of the fallen soldiers. ANC rules, that had been made clear to the Trump campaign in advance, say that only an official Arlington photographer can take pictures or film in Section 60. When an ANC employee tried to enforce the rules, she was verbally abused by the two Trump campaign operatives, according to a source with knowledge of the incident. Picard then pushed her out of the way according to two Pentagon officials." [NPR, 9/4/24]
