Trump Campaign Manager Will Not Be Prosecuted For Battery

Trump Campaign Manager Will Not Be Prosecuted For Battery
Matt Vespa | Apr 13, 2016

There isn’t going to be a bloody legal fight between former Breitbart reports and the Trump campaign. Fields filed battery charges against Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who physically grabbed the reporter while trying to ask the billionaire magnate a question about affirmative action in March. At the time, Trump was leaving a press conference in Jupiter, Florida. Politico reports that there will be no prosecution:

A Florida prosecutor has decided not to prosecute Donald Trump’s campaign manager for battery after a March run-in with former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, sources with knowledge of the situation told POLITICO.

The decision not to press charges against Corey Lewandowski is scheduled to be announced on Thursday afternoon by Palm Beach County State Attorney David Aronberg.

Fields may still pursue a defamation case against Lewandowski, a source said.

Fields filed a police report last month after Lewandowski grabbed her by the arm and moved her out of Trump’s way following a press conference at Trump National Gold Club in Jupiter. She said he left bruises on her arm. Police later charged Lewandowski with simple battery, releasing video from surveillance cameras that shows Lewandowski reaching for and grabbing Fields.

Trump supporters thought Fields was lying, Fields supporters felt this incident not only warranted Lewandowski to be dismissed from the campaign, but also encapsulated the culture Trump encourages among his staff. On social media, it wasn’t much better, as both camps dissected the security camera footage with various telestrator sketches. While Trump said he backed Lewandowski, his role on the campaign has been reduced.

Thank you Florida prosecutors. Facts and common sense prevail in Florida. Thank you.

Michelle Fields to Pursue Civil Action Against Trump and His Campaign Manager for Defamation
Apr. 13, 2016 9:31pm Oliver Darcy

Ex-Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields said Wednesday night that she plans to pursue civil action against Donald Trump and campaign manager Corey Lewandowski over an incident that occurred last month.

Fields told TheBlaze that she is looking into bringing legal action against both Trump and Lewandowski for defamation of her character.

Just hours before, sources told multiple media outlets that a Florida prosecutor had decided not to prosecute Lewandowski. Fields had alleged that Lewandowski committed simple battery against her when he grabbed her arm at a March press conference.

A spokesperson for the Trump campaign was not immediately available for comment.

Throughout the incident, Trump has firmly stood by Lewandowski. Both have characterized Fields as a possible liar. Lewandowski called her “delusional” and Trump went as far as to question whether the bruises on her arm were even from the incident.

Fields, along with several of her colleagues, left Breitbart as a result of the incident. She has since received numerous death threats, prompting her to abandon her apartment. One of the threats, which TheBlaze obtained audio of, is being investigated by the authorities.

You defamed your own character by lying and pressing false charges. You left your job over nothing. You sought a claim to fame on a false accusation. You tried to ruin a man's life. You tried to harm a campaign for President. They all should sue YOU. Corey is the one with the lawsuit against every media mogul that ran this phony story and accused him of assault and every woman who called for his firing. Oh yes, you know who you are. You signed a petition, remember?

Everyone that looked into that story knew the assault or battery claim was complete BS!
