Video Validates Reporter’s Claim She Was Grabbed By Trump’s Campaign Manager

The controversy surrounding Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields’ criminal complaint claiming Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski assaulted her just got a lot more interesting. New video footage of the event released by C-SPAN seems to validate Fields’ claim that Lewandowski grabbed her by the arm and forcefully pulled her away from Trump at a Palm Beach campaign event Tuesday night.

Earlier reports, including from Fields’ own news site, Breitbart News, claimed that a video from a different angle suggested that Fields and Washington Post‘s Ben Terris (who witnessed the incident) were mistaken about Lewandowski being the one who grabbed Fields.However, release today of footage by C-SPAN taken from another angle shows Lewandowski reach out toward Fields’ left arm — the arm she showed photographic evidence of having been bruised (see below) — before the camera is blocked.
