U.S. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s
campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was charged with battery
in Florida on Tuesday after allegations that he forcefully grabbed
a reporter at a campaign event.
Police in Jupiter, Florida, charged Lewandowski, 42, with
intentionally grabbing and bruising the arm of Michelle Fields, a
reporter at the time for the conservative news outlet Breitbart,
when she tried to question Trump at a campaign event on March
“Mr. Lewandowski is absolutely innocent of this charge,” Trump’s
campaign said in a statement. “He will enter a plea of not guilty
and looks forward to his day in court. He is completely confident
that he will be exonerated.”
Police released a video showing the incident. It shows Fields
walking alongside Trump, and Lewandowski grabbing her arm and
pulling her backward as she tried to question the Republican
candidate.
