Trump campaign manager will not be prosecuted, sources say

Source: Politico

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.

sorry, but she was closing in on trump. any candidate at this point has to be careful with all the looneybirds out there. and she can always take it to civil court, although my guess is she won't be awarded much if at all.

It is something that will follow Lewandowsky throughout his life. It will color his resume for future employment. You won't see it on his actual resume, but it will be there none the less. He will find employment but there will be nagging questions about whether he can control his temper. Whether he can follow company guidelines regarding equal respect for co-workers. Can't call a woman the "C" word. That is a huge NO NO!
