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.
This is really not that big of a surprise to me at all. For one thing Donald Trump probably is good friends with the prosecutor down there in Florida and two, there really wasn’t an assault here.
This was a woman getting her arm grabbed and being pulled back away from Trump that is a far cry from a vicious physical assault.
Not to mention the fact that Michelle Fields sensationalized her story and lied about being thrown to the ground and then once the video came out, she softened up her accusations against him.
Either way, I believe that the campaign manager should have never been charged in the first place and if I was a campaign manager, I would file a lawsuit against the police in Florida for arresting him and then putting him in jail over something silly like that. I believe, it was basically over reach by the Florida police to put him in jail.
Furthermore, I would file a liability lawsuit against Michelle Fields for slandering his name in the public to the media and straight up lying about him throwing her on the floor.
I’m no fan of trump and I will not be voting for him in the general election. But, it is obvious that this woman tried to use Trump as a way of furthering her career as a fabulist journalist for Breitbart and then when the video came out it backfired on her and now she doesn’t have a job and will probably end up getting sued in court for making some very wildly inaccurate statements to the media.
