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 Trumps 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.

My guy's going to the White House, dirtdiver. You trolls will be whining even louder on inauguration day. (:^D)
LOL!!!
Fields had a thick, long sleeved jacket on at the time of the incident. I cannot see how she could have received the bruises she posted a picture of given the padding and little physical contact the video displays.
Something’s not right.
Laz Laz Laz
I didn’t decide anything. I repeated what was reported. Too bad if that upsets you.
Isn’t that what this site is about?
Ya know. Posting articles and then discussing them. Unless it’s a trump article then most of you would prefer to kneel down and worship him.
Headlines aren’t “reporting”. You know that, yet you run with a lie. Why?
Discussing them, then seperating fact from fiction.
There is no fury. There is only a headline.
Quit being a bitch. Go attack the author if you have a problem with the title.
If bitches lie, you exemplify bitch.
He’s sure flushing out the pajama boys on this board!
I can picture them clutching their pearls and fainting over this horror!
Where are the men??
What you guys are doing is EXACTLY the same was what the Obamaites did the last two elections. Viciously attack ANYONE who says ANYTHING remotely negative about their One.
On this thread you and many others have attacked me for simply repeating what was in the title of the thread.
Then there’s all the outlandish things you all have said about her. Everything from she’s a liar to she had intent to do harm to Trump.
This event shows just how bad of a leader Trump is. He’s responding to this exactly like a spoiled narcissistic rich boy. The Trump campaign has lied about the event; saying he never touched her. Something the video proves is a lie. Then they smeared the reporter and she has lost her job.
They’ve damaged this woman over a minor event because thats what Trump does. Trump gets even, he always attacks. Trump never apologizes or goes on the defense.
A simply apology would probably have avoided her filing charges. This event will destroy Trump with women voters. It shows exactly his lack of respect for women.
Your wailing and crying over this event exemplifies Trump supporters. Stamp your feet and throw insults all you want. It doesn’t change the facts.
The men certainly aren’t supporting Trump. Lotta sheep though
Actually, no. What I am doing is expressing a little shock you would take the editorialized headline word “fury” and think it actually was true in real life.
That is the summary of my issue with you on this thread. I don’t care who you back; I don’t care your take on the case.
What matters to me is how you accepted the editorializing, and posited that it was actual truth.
You’ve had some experience on this forum with ‘news media’ lies. You should know better.
“What I am doing is expressing a little shock you would take the editorialized headline word fury and think it actually was true in real life.”
Judging from the emotional interview Trump had on Foxnews this morning I’d say ‘fury’ is more accurate than not.
Keep flapping your gums Laz. You’ve shown yourself to be a “he’ll make my mortgage payment and fill my car with gas” kinda guy. There is no critical thinking process taking place.
Trump has zero record for doing anything for conservatives unless it benefited him. Even then he’s done 100x more for liberals and liberal causes. ALL Trump has done is given a good speech. You’ve fallen for the marketing and slick sales.
Trumps actual history shows he is far closer to Pelosi, Reid, Clinton, deBlasio on nearly every issue. Yet,you are so mad at the GOP that you are willing to help burn down this country.
This is the same process that has occurred numerous times throughout history. One of the most recent was Venezuela.
Oh, and a followup observation: You will note I am the second person to use the term 'bitch' in our exchange.
Physician, heal thyself.
By the looks of that picture Trumps campaign manager should be praised for his fast thinking.
I do not have the time to bring you up to speed on my thoughts about Trump at the moment. Perhaps I will later, or perhaps I may realize that no amount of text will alter your perceptions. I will merely note, at this time, that you are pretty much 100% off-base on my reasoning.
Yes, and I did it in response to your previous attacks on me.
You guys are more viscous then the Obama supporters of the last two elections. We’re not even out of the primaries dude. This is exactly the time to challenge EVERY candidate.
