But Trump made it clear that he will not dismiss Lewandowski as his campaign manager and insisted that the accusation against him was false.

2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. “It would have been much easier than talking to you about this all night long”.
Police in Jupiter, Florida, charged Corey Lewandowski, 42, with intentionally grabbing and bruising the arm of Michelle Fields, then a reporter for the conservative news outlet Breitbart, when she tried to question Trump at a campaign event on March 8.
Corey Lewandowski was charged with one count of battery for allegedly grabbing Fields earlier this month at a campaign event in Juniper, Florida. “I never touched you”. “As you all know, I ran 2010 and 2014, I wanted to make sure everybody had the opportunity to use their First Amendment rights”.
According to the arrest report, surveillance footage taken at Trump National, where the news conference and incident took place, corroborates Field’s claim. “After she had asked a question, she felt someone yank her left arm”.
“I think that that would probably be insufficient, but look it’s up to the police to determine whether they think that the charges are meritorious or not, ” he said. It is an incident that I don’t believe Corey thought was anything. She’d have a little better evidence.
“Like Americans everywhere, I know I’ll always remember where I was when news arrived of the tragic assault on Michelle Fields”, Coulter tweeted. And remember she grabbed me, before he even broke anything. If you would like to discuss another topic, look for a relevant article. “We have people in the Middle East chopping off heads and drowning people in cages, and he brushes her. What is in her hand??” So it was so minor.
The campaign denied the alleged incident ever took place in a statement released later on March 10.
He also rescinded a previous pledge to support the Republican presidential nominee if it is not him. “He was a bad guy”.
Trump cast doubt on her claims, telling reporters that he doubts her claims that she suffered bruises from Lewandowski. “He’s got four lovely children in New Hampshire, ruin his whole everything, and say you’re fired”.

“I just can’t stand by and watch a man’s life be destroyed”. “The video tape easily and plainly shows that in fact he did grab her and he did pull her. That’s why I stay with a lot of people that are treated unfairly”, he said. I don’t think so.
