FOX Business Network reported:
On Thursday, Corey Lewandowski, the campaign manager for Donald Trump, was cleared of simple battery charges by Florida prosecutors. Police charged Lewandowski after reporter Michelle Fields, who at the time was with Breitbart News, accused him of grabbing her while she asked Donald Trump a question during an event in early March. Fields resigned her position following the incident.
Lewandowski, speaking to Blake Burman of the FOX Business Network, explained what happened that night in Florida and said he tried to get in touch with Fields.
I picked up the phone and I called Michelle, Lewandowski said. I wanted to find out what happened because I didnt know what happened because I never heard from her. To this day the campaigns never heard from her. She never once called and said hey, this took place. Id like to go and resolve this issue. I dont want to make this a story. None of that ever took place. But because I saw what the Twitter feed was saying, I said jeez, lets find out whats going on.
The campaign manager said he turned over his phone records to the district attorneys office in Florida in order to prove he made the calls that evening.
I never heard back [from Fields], Lewandowski said. The [Trump] campaign never heard back. And I think what we could have done, if she didnt want to become the story here, is have a private conversation saying this is what I think occurred.

But before he did that he did this...
Daily Caller reporter assaulted by NYPD during Occupy protests professional reporting or attention seeking? https://t.co/FqOQQMvNcy Corey Lewandowski (@CLewandowski_) March 10, 2016
Michelle Fields is an attention seeker who once claimed Allen West groped her but later went silent. https://t.co/J86Ej42eYx

@MichelleFields you are totally delusional. I never touched you. As a matter of fact, I have never even met you.

So your complaint is that a political campaign made politically motivated comments about an opponent?
Seriously?
After Trump supporters and the Trump campaign have whined and cried about every little thing. Inventing and lying about everything under the sun.
Lewandowski lied about “never touching” Fields. What makes you think he’s not lying here?
He sure did. A clear and transparent lie.
Of course she wouldn’t return the call; such a move would require her to actually be authentic!
He’s lucky he didn’t get through. But if he did he would have had to record it because she would have accused him of threatening her. She’s a criminal complaint waiting to happen!
Truth will out. This POS lying so called reporter has pulled this stunt one too many times. I hope she gets fired
Wow, he did try to talk it out with her. Everyone who publicly trashed Cory needs to send him an apology.
Lol!
Which, by the way, indicated they would have destroyed a good family man with a wife and four children. Over the claims of a delusional serial victim.
Nope. A lie requires intent to deceive. It's far more likely Corey didn't remember such a small non event. The event certainly didn't happen in the manner described by Fields.
I picked up the phone and I called Michelle, Lewandowski said. I wanted to find out what happened because I didnt know what happened because I never heard from her. To this day the campaigns never heard from her. She never once called and said hey, this took place. Id like to go and resolve this issue. I dont want to make this a story. None of that ever took place. But because I saw what the Twitter feed was saying, I said jeez, lets find out whats going on. AND Ledo-wink-ski first claimed over and over he NEVER touched her. Liar.>>>> not sure but seems he is consistently saying that he didn’t know what happened. and called her to find out. The headline might be misleading.
He responded to an accusation that he grabbed this woman and dragged her down. It was a nonevent that normal people wouldn't even remember.
The suggestion that he was out there repeating that claim over and over is bullshit.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha That's a good one!
Gentleman or not, it was wise to confront the issue personally and early. Especially when the person leveling the charge on Twitter has a reputation of fabricating incidents. Be proactive - it's not a ball of fun, but it beats the heck out of only being in reaction mode.
I suspect he knew that he did not forcefully grab her and almost throw her down as she recounted at first, perhaps he was confused about the incident she was referring to.
Correct. Women of her obvious mental and emotional instability are very often loose losers.
>>>The Trump campaign did an abysmal job of handling this incident.<<<
Really, how so? Should they have waited until Fields put Trump’s Son Barron’s Pet Rabbit in a Boiling Pot of Water before responding to the allegations?
BTW - Please list the Charges filed against Trump’s guy.
Your TDS is showing and it ain’t pretty. Carry on.
Right both of them went wobbly PC saying that they would fire him immediately. Shows how they would react to a similar situation in their Administrations if elected. It takes courage in today’s world to stand by someone and not throw them under the bus for political expediency. Just think a good man’s career could have been ruined by this worthless reporter if there had not been videos of the incident.
Michelle Fields hit-and-run reporter
