Here’s my statement regarding the charges against Corey Lewandowski by the Jupiter Police Department:

Some media outlets have reported that this office has brought charges against Corey Lewandowski, campaign manager for Donald Trump. These reports are false. Our office has taken no action against Mr. Lewandowski. The matter was investigated and charged by the Jupiter Police Department, not this office. We will await the file from the Jupiter Police Department and make a decision on how to proceed in this matter before Mr. Lewandowski’s May 4th arraignment.

Law enforcement charges on a probable cause standard. The State has to proceed on a legally higher standard of proof, which is beyond a reasonable doubt as well as whether there is a reasonable likelihood of a conviction. At this point, our office has not received the case.

I find it doubtful that the police would file charges against someone at Lewandowski's position without checking with the prosecutor first. If the charges were to be dropped it would be a massive amount of egg on the face of the police.
