Good Morning America Donald Trump Threatens Legal Action Over Charge Against Campaign Manager Will Donald Trump's Campaign Manager Impact the Race? Donald Trump on Campaign Manager's Battery Charge Donald Trump says he is considering legal action in response to a recent battery charge against campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. "Frankly, this is not a claim that should have been made," Trump told ABC News' David Muir on "Good Morning America" this morning. Lewandowski was arrested on Tuesday morning for allegedly grabbing former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields following a Trump event earlier this month. Trump dismissed the incident as "very minor," saying that "practically nothing happened." "I'm sure there will be a counter-claim coming down the line," Trump added. "Should I file charges against her because she touched my arm as well?"

"Her face wasn’t that of a woman screaming in pain," Trump said. "He didn’t try to throw her to the ground. You look at Twitter, people think it’s a total disgrace she’s filing charges," he said, referring to the Jupiter, Florida, Police Department's investigation revealing probable cause to charge Lewandowski. "This case, let it go to court." Fields first spoke about the alleged incident in an op-ed published earlier this month. Fields alleges she was assaulted at Trump’s news conference on March 8, the night of the Michigan, Mississippi and Idaho Republican primaries, after posing a question to the New York real estate mogul.

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,” Fields wrote. In her op-ed, Fields went on to say The Washington Post’s Ben Terris identified the aggressor as Lewandowski. "I watched as a man with short-cropped hair and a suit grabbed her arm and yanked her out of the way. He was Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s 41-year-old campaign manager," Terris confirmed. Lewandowski denied the alleged incident with Fields and called her “totally delusional” on Twitter. After Lewandowski was charged, the Trump campaign responded with a statement asserting Lewandowski’s innocence.

At the very end of the interview, ABC News host David Muir asked Trump to respond to a comment Hillary Clinton made this week. “As scary as it might be, ask yourself, ‘What kind of justice would a President Trump appoint?'” she said during a speech at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Monday. Trump replied: “Well, I probably would appoint people who would look very seriously at her email disaster because it’s a criminal activity and I would appoint people who would look very seriously at that to start off with. What she is getting away with is absolutely murder. You talk about a case, now that’s a real case.” “Now nothing seems to be happening, but you can also poll people on that and you can see what happens on that because that is a real case and if she is able to get away with that you can get away with anything,” he added.
