A reporter has filed a complaint with the Jupiter, Fl. police, against Donald Trump‘s campaign manager, according to the Independent Journal, who cited sources familiar with the events. Breitbart’s Michelle Fields is alleging that Corey Lewandowski grabbed her arm when she was asking Trump a question at a press event on Tuesday. Fields filed the police report three days later.
Lewandowski went on Twitter and vehemently denied the allegations.
@MichelleFields you are totally delusional. I never touched you. As a matter of fact, I have never even met you.

Trump himself denied everything after Thursday night’s debate.
