Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, is accusing Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields of provoking his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski.

This past Tuesday, Lewandowski was arrested and charged with battery, a misdemeanor, after Jupiter police used security video footage to authenticate Fields’ claim that Lewandowski forcefully grabbed her arm on March 8th as she tried to get Trump’s attention after a news conference.

The charge comes after Fields alleged she was assaulted at Trump’s news conference after asking Trump a question.

“Trump acknowledged the question, but before he could answer I was jolted backwards. Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance. Nonetheless, I was shaken.” –Michelle Fields

On ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Trump was quoted:

“Frankly, this is not a claim that should have been made.”

“She had a pen in her hand, and you know, that could have been a knife, that could have been—even a pen, it’s dangerous. Secret Service doesn’t want people running up to me and grabbing me with a pen in her hand.”

“Should I file charges against her because she touched my arm as well?”

Could a counter-claim be coming in the near future?
