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.

IT’S NOY THE CRIME, IT’S THE COVERUP—or, in this case, the stupid & unnecessary relentless CAMPAIGN OF CHARACTER ASSASSINATION & PERSONAL DESTRUCTION AGAINST MISS FIELDS BY THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
Arrest fields she cause trump did jerk back
LOL....they just keep charging him for this ham sandwich.
No, wait...it’s the same cr@p sandwich being reposted :)
LOL....rich....cover up...coming from a cRuzer.
There’s no cover up, about this absurd charge against Lewandowski....because there’s nothing to cover up.
That's what this fuss is about?
And they charged him with a crime?
Is there more? Is this video the whole case against him?
I can't believe there's not more to the case than this.

Your innuendo may reveal projection on your part.
Forget your immature insults trying to deflect from the discussion.
This has nothing to do with Cruz or even Trump, for that matter.
Lewandowski grabbed Fields and pulled her back, as the video shows. Are you saying the video LIES?
“Pictures of her arm after the ‘assault’, please!”
But that’s her “special area”. If no one has the right to touch her there, there must be a law against posting pictures of it.
He doesn't even look at her in the video. I think it's entirely plausible that he would claim to have no knowledge of the event.
It doesn't look like the sort of thing one would remember when moving through a large crowd trying to keep up with the candidate.
I thought she claimed he had practically thrown her to the ground???
THAT is the most upsetting thing she's had to deal with since her father's death? Oh, to lead so charmed a life!
If this is battery then the word has lost all meaning.
Looks like he’s doing two things, pulling her hand away while trying to move up next to Trump. He doesn’t see that he has thrown her down.
EXACTLY!!!! WE NEED TO BE PROSECUTING ALL SECRET SERVICE AGENTS OR BODYGUARDS THAT DO THEIR JOB!!!!
In case you didn't catch the first chapter of this saga another reporter that saw it reported on it.
The Trump Campaign accused the women who was grabbed of being a liar and saying she was confused that Cory was nowhere near her.
Then a video shows up showing the complete opposite.... oops.
I don't see where he has thrown her down?
Am I missing something?
Yeah read the police report then watch the video. Fields statements are so far divorced from what the video shows it is laughable.
That Prosecutor went forward with this change, in light of this video. is pretty damaging evidence that this is politically motivated prosecution/
Considering her aggressive behavior, she's lucky the Secret Service didn't knock her down. Obviously Trump must be protected from disturbed media weirdos such as "Stabby the Clown" and fellow travelers such as the nasty piece of work who filed this ridiculous charge.
If America has become such a pantywaist nation that this is sufficient cause to arrest somebody, it isn't worth the effort to try to save anymore.
There are thousands of Men that have gone to court, sent to jail, lost their jobs, lost custody of their children and lost their Second Amendments rights for putting marks less than that on their spouse or significant other.
So you can take your opinion and SHOVE IT.
