New video of Donald Trump’s press conference Tuesday evening shows that the Washington Post’s account of an altercation involving Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields could not possibly have happened as Ben Terris reported.
In conducting our own due diligence, we have reviewed as much video footage and other evidence as possible, and present it in the interest of transparency.
Contrary to what Donald Trump said Thursday evening after the GOP debate, the incident certainly happened. However, the person who made contact with Fields was likely not Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.
As Trump campaign spokesperson Katrina Pierson said Thursday on the Fox Business Network, “someone probably did grab her,” i.e. Fields, though Pierson claimed it could not have been Lewandowski.
Audio of the incident, published on Politico, shows Fields asking Terris if the individual who pulled her left arm was, in fact, “Corey.” Terris says it was — an assertion he later repeated in print: “I watched as a man with short-cropped hair and a suit grabbed her arm and yanked her out of the way. He was Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s 41-year-old campaign manager.”
However, Lewandowski was not the only “man with short-cropped hair and a suit” walking near Trump. And he was walking on the opposite side of Trump from Fields, and Terris.
A photograph by Washington Post photographer Jabin Botsford, Terris’s colleague, released by ABC News World News Tonight, and taken seconds before the altercation took place, shows two men with short-cropped hair.

Hey Team Trump - you need to get the JFK conspiracy theorists on this. They know how to analyze every single shot of every piece of film in slo mo.
I will be awaiting the Zapruda/Trump film clearing Corey.
Ban ANYONE from Breitbart!
This whole thing confuses me. I thought Breitbart was for Trump. Or was it Cruz. I have lost track

There are many such examples...plus, if you actually LISTEN to her you would know better. Just because she doesn’t agree with you does NOT make her a lib. Buy a clue.
I hope you hearted her back!
Well it is news...because it’s not true.
OMG! That’s horrendous. I should put some ice on that.
That would be true...if it was true.
Cute or not Michelle Fields needs to have babies and be a mommy
Take her drama to the Y and PTA
Corey needs to sue this woman, Ben Terris and their employers into oblivion.
Yep sad, held out hope the insanity would not take in Rush but he is no different today then Beck or Levin or any of the loony toon choir.
Use to be Conservatives fought the Left. Now they have become them.
Everyone should grab their own arm real hard and try to make the pinky tip line up with the other fingers - it cant be done.
Brown makeup?
Sounds like another Megyn Kelly to me.
Let’s assume that Corey didn’t do it. So who did? If it was hired security would Trump reveal that to clear his Campaign guy? I think it may have been Secret Service and they can’t reveal it yet.
Was this a set up along with the 76 year old guy? Maybe that old guy is a hippie lefty? Probably not but who knows these days.

A lot of Freeper supporters of Trump AND Freeper supporters of Cruz have been acting like rabid Leftists with their Alinsky tactics. It’s like watching children argue.
But she hearts me.
actually, based on her picture, if I were a younger man, I’d...
