Today Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was charged with battery against former Breitbart “News” reporter Michelle Fields. A newly released surveillance video (above) clearly shows Lewandowski grabbing Fields by the arm and roughly pulling her aside exactly as she claimed.

Remember when Breitbart’s Joel Pollak published an “analysis” that came to the conclusion it couldn’t have been Lewandowski who grabbed Michelle Fields?

This should prove once and for all that Breitbart “News” is nothing but a propaganda outfit, in the tank for Donald Trump, with credibility less than zero.

Infamous troll Chuck C. Johnson (who’s now banned from Facebook for 30 days) also failed massively, claiming his “police sources” revealed to him that Michelle Fields was being “investigated” for filing a false police report. Wrong again, Chuck.

The Trump camp is continuing to deny Lewandowski touched Fields, of course, because that’s what they do. They released a statement saying Lewandowski was not arrested and would be vindicated.

But…

Trump camp says that @CLewandowski_ was not arrested, but the Jupiter Police say “He was arrested. A notice to appear is an arrest.”

And it gets even worse, because the surveillance video just released was actually in possession of the Trump campaign while they were issuing all their denials.

Meanwhile, Lewandowski’s lawyer is a real prize himself, forced to resign as a US Attorney after biting a stripper.

And of course…

Wow, Corey Lewandowski, my campaign manager and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter. Look at tapes-nothing there!

Why aren’t people looking at this reporters earliest statement as to what happened, that is before she found out the episode was on tape?

Here’s the police report, via the Washington Post:

Katrina Pierson on CNN right now saying Corey Lewandowski will stay on as Donald Trump’s campaign manager.
