Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was charged in Florida with simple battery The charge stems from a March 8 incident in which now former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields approached Trump to ask a question Lewandowski allegedly grabbed Fields' arm leaving bruises She reported the incident to police three days later Trump already issued a statement saying Lewandowski will be 'exonerated' Republican front-runner Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has been charged with simple battery for allegedly grabbing a reporter, in a case that may hinge on a Secret Service claim that the journalist first made unwanted physical contact with the billionaire-turned-politician.
'Victory press conference was over. Why is she allowed to grab me and shout questions? Can I press charges?' Trump tweeted this afternoon.
The misdemeanor case stems from an incident involving Lewandowski and now-former Breitbart.com reporter Michelle Fields.
After Trump's March 8 press conference at the Trump National Golf Course in Jupiter, Fields walked alongside him to ask a question and later said Lewandowski grabbed and bruised her.
Jupiter Police released surveillance footage on Tuesday giving the public an eagle-eye view of the incident where the grab at Fields is clear.
But speaking on condition of anonymity, a member of Trump’s Secret Service detail told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Fields touched Trump twice – and was warned by agents to stop – before Lewandowski pulled her away.
'She crossed in between agents and our protectee after being told not to,' said the agent, who was present that night in Jupiter.
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. But it shows him apparently pulling his arm away from her.

Cruz’s kids were attacked? You are an absolute liar.
When is the indictment for that “attack” on a child coming down?
Show me the link right now to Ted Cruz’s little daughters being attacked. You are as hysterical as Michele and have less sense than that ducky.
“They have attacked Cruz’s wife and kids. “
Why are you CRYING. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
See how retarded you come off?
This reporterette would cry like a baby on a New York City subway during rush hour I imagine.
Perhaps you missed the point where our politicans work for us.
Its amazing how supposed conservatives WANT the govt to enforce that travesty of a law.
Awww, hows that crow tasting today.
Lewandowski replied to Fields’ Tweet, writing: “You are totally delusional. I never touched you. As a matter of fact, I have never even met you.”
A liar, just like his boss. What a surprise, like attacks like.
This is all penny-ante stuff all the way around. Lewandoski should not be charged. The Lewandoski story did change, but it’s just not a big enough deal to make a federal or even a state case out of it. If all the threatened lawsuits and charges and violations were acted on, the media, the candidates and the staffs would all be in jail or under stifling court orders, while Hillary Clinton goes around free as a cockroach.

The msm is going with this story as the headline in a further attempt to maintain a blackout of the cheating cruz story.
This is a calculated move.

Poor Donnie!
Endangered by great big Michelle.

Lord, please protect Mr. Trump, his campaign staff, his Secret Service agents, and indeed all political candidates, from harmful situations, aggressive persons, and from false prosecution. If the staff is intimidated by false law enforcement prosecution from keeping dangerous persons from the candidate, then an assassination attempt could occur. False prosecution of this nature is intimidation of the security staff from doing their jobs.
Quoting Ann Coulter-
DIE SCUM DONORS!
Is there any chance this clarion call out to campaign cretins applies?
Wondering?
.
What a pussy!
.
Sure he should be charged. Lying “I never touched you” Lewandowski has no legal right to manhandle someone else. Breaking the law has consequences. Do the crime and do the time. He needs to put on his big boys pants and own up to breaking the law.
.
Master bator.
You don’t want what law enforced? Secret Service protection?
I have heard the report, more than once, that she showed bruises to someone in authority minutes after the so called assault......I have had a LOT of bruises, and none of them showed up a few minutes after the event that caused them.....they take time to develop.
So you’re ok with infrongement of our Constitutionally protected rights, as long as its legal.
