lorida police have charged Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski with simple assault in connection with an incident earlier in the month involving a reporter.
Police in Jupiter, Florida issued Lewandowski a notice Tuesday to appear before a judge on May 4 for the misdemeanor charge. A surveillance video released by the police appears to show Lewandowski grabbing a reporter for Breitbart News as she tried to ask Trump a question during a March 8 campaign event.
The police report states: "Lewandowski grabbed (Michelle) Fields' left arm with his right hand causing her to turn and step back." Fields showed police her left forearm which "appeared to show a grabbing-type injury," according to the investigating officer.

Yeah, Fields early statements before she knew that there is video will come back to bite her.
Bigger trouble will come if it is verified that she touched Trump twice and the Secret Service warned her to knock it off before Lewandowski intervened.
So, by this example, every jerk who runs into Walmart on Black Friday at 4AM yanking other customer’s arms, elbows and torsos should get sued big time, right?
“Carly Fiorina leaped in to take a bullet for him”
Hiding behind a woman’s skirt. How manly!
Aren't you a classy piece of work calling me a liar?
I was looking at the video. I saw no "danger" reaction from the SS. I didn't see any SS move in to confront Fields or "grab" at her like they did when the man charged the stage at the Trump rally.
If I "missed" something, I would appreciate your telling me what I missed. Otherwise, you're doing nothing but trash talking.
“The aerial footage from inside the country club ballroom, which is a series of still photographs taken at steady intervals, doesn’t capture Fields making contact with Trump.”
I would beg to differ after watching this video numerous times. She did make contact on her left side and then shoved her recorder/phone in front of him. Particularly if she was warned by the Secret Service and continued to contact him this is also an “unwanted” touching and should be subject to a charge. All the more reason to suspect this is a political hit job.
Now it is clear CL grabbed her, to what extent and force used we can’t be sure. This was an assault if even in the de minimis range. Of course the argument is that CL was justified in using force against her given her physical contact of Trump and more so when she was warned by the Secret Service. That or he was justifiably mistaken in the acts he took to deal with her and protect Trump. He is not required to be Secret Service to protect someone who he sees is being contacted in an aggressive manner as the same right would be extended to everyone.
In the context of a campaign would seem to me a malicious prosecution. Lawyer up DT and go after the weasels (or rats) who authorized this charge/prosecuting it.
This will just allow the CNN/GOPe etc. cabal to play on the aggressive, violent, and assaultive nature of Trump’s campaign. When DT stated he was taking on the corrupt political structure one had to expect kickback like this.
the sweater looks stretched to me, not sure where the grab began or ended, might have been either
Hmmmmm, this is the first time I've seen this since I haven't been back to the thread. Thanks for sharing.
Isn't good if Fields was touching/hanging onto Trump.
Maybe Trump should file his own charges.
Go to Trump’s twitter account. He is talking about filing charges against her.
She was warned not to touch Trump and kept doing it!!!
That's because you are.
But let us give you the benefit of the doubt, you are merely poorly informed.

You're welcome.
“Lawyer up DT”
Trump lives “lawyered up”. It is how he succeeds. Sue them, then financially destroy them through long expensive litigation.
I agree. It is clear she was and obstructing his path and making contact with him.
Wonder why the prosecutor did not include her touching Trump as evidence?
Because DT didn’t lay a complaint.
I watch you on occasion
You have a propensity for the succinct
Nice
The police don’t got to show you s**t. See you in court!
Thank you kindly. I hope to remain so.
