Fields filed the police report three days later.

Lewandowski went on Twitter and vehemently denied the allegations.

Trump himself denied everything after Thursday night’s debate.

In response to the denials, Fields also took to Twitter, posting a picture of bruises.

LawNewz.com has contacted the Jupiter police for confirmation and is awaiting a response.

They say the report was made on Friday morning. Police will provide additional details once the case has concluded.

Misdemeanor battery, according to Florida statute, is when a person intentionally touches or strikes another person against that person’s will.
