Nice to see Trump focus on crap like this instead of, say, Colorado delegates. https://t.co/XEmyLrHuv9

Last night we learned that Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s campaign manager, would not be prosecuted for a simple battery charge he faced for allegedly grabbing the arm of Michelle Fields.

Today the Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg explained why the decision was made not to prosecute Lewandowski:

According to Aronberg, Donald Trump was personally involved:

Prosecutor: Trump personally called and spoke with several people in our office, told his story and urged us "to do the right thing."
