This is not a report from CNN - this is PageSix

Ignore them

they repeat the LIE that Ivanka wanted him fired after he grabbed Michelle Fields.

It was actually Fields who lost her job over that lie

They are trying to twist it to keep the lie and ruin Lewandowski. There is NO reason from the Trump camp to think he was FIRED.
