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.

I would like to know if you are saying this after watching the NEW overhead video? Guess what? He GRABBED her....you can see it.
There have been numerous death threats made against Donald Trump. Ahmad Shah Massoud the leader of The Northern Alliance was blown to pieces the day before Sept 11th by a “reporter”.
Redirecting this lunatic is well within reason.
“He GRABBED her....you can see it.”
I didn’t know there were so many delicate Texas Snowflakes.
This is nothing more than political lawfare, like DeLay, Perry, Stevens, Walker. It’s purpose is not to uphold the law but to justify a drumbeat of headlines of the form “Trump Campaign Manager Charged”. The fact that articles such as this have already been posted from many sources proves the point.
Et tu Jo.
Now I suppose you will cliam you did a search on this and did not find it when there is a thred just prior to yours right?
This must cost this site a lot re-posting stories like this.
I suspect that Jim would cut his costs quite a bit if they could keep up preventing the constant re-posting of the same story over and over and over again.
And maybe that is some peoples point that use this site?

Glad you love your home town boy. Pry open you weled shut mind for 15 seconds and WATCH the video.
Only a brain dead moron can watch this and claim assault.
Give it a few hours...6 will turn to 60, most of which will be placed in "Breaking News".
The the videos prove nothing?
Is Corey running for president?
Dump him!
DrewHas2Dads: I’m not a fan of you and your same sex partner. I think that is pretty clear.
Watch the video
You don’t “dump” people for politically motivated prosecutions.

She’s right up close to Trump as they’re all walking out, he was probably trying to protect Mr. Trump.
“Wow. This is like the 4th or 5th time today they charged him.”
LOL!
I've been pretty neutral on Trump. Don't love him, prefer Cruz, and preferred many, but not all of the other Republican candidates that have since dropped out.
Up until this, I still would have had no problem supporting Trump in the general. But beginning with the way his campaign handled this incident, and now continuing with Trump's behavior towards Ted Cruz's wife, I now doubt I will vote for Trump in the general should he be the nominee.
I doubt I'm such a unique individual that there aren't many other people making the same decision. So this could be hurting Trump a lot more than you think.
Of course, in my case, who I support in the general election has meaning only to me, since I live in California. And if I lived in a swing state, I might cut Trump a little more slack, because he's less evil than any Democrat. But if he was as smart as he claims he is, he'd stop giving people conscientious reasons not to vote for him.
To me, he’s clearly pulling her hand away with a potentially sharp object and doesn’t even look at her as he goes by to catch up with Trump. Doesn’t notice she falls down. Isn’t clear from his angle she’s a reporter. Doesn’t say anything to her.
Man, the definition of “battery” here is really broad. Now, he DID claim he didn’t touch her. That is out.
