After last night’s GOP debate on CNN, Donald Trump told reporters that Michelle Fields’ allegation that his campaign manager assaulted her at a campaign rally was a “made up” story.
Lewandowsky has now also issued a denial:
@MichelleFields you are totally delusional. I never touched you. As a matter of fact, I have never even met you.

That doesn’t fit with a previous report:
You already admitted it —> https://t.co/X71BwxrVAn https://t.co/KcGPQoz7Ts

Lewandowski ALREADY admitted that he grabbed Fields, so stop. https://t.co/XSQdnLIQK4 pic.twitter.com/AzTGuQpHMl

Others can’t make Lewandowski’s claim add up either:
He ignores there was an eyewitness, @bterris, and an audio tape https://t.co/hUoUgAflCN

One hell of a conspiracy to manufacture witnesses and connive @CLewandowski_ into an earlier confession. https://t.co/SIXEE0kYM5

This is an interesting lie. What, it's not assault because you weren't formally introduced? https://t.co/44QvVFItdw

Bruise, Washington Post reporter, and excited utterances on a contemporaneous recording be damned. Wow. https://t.co/K2VtEVMsAU

Update: Here are some different angles:
That…sure looks like Lewandowski reaching for @MichelleFields. Not the security dude. https://t.co/5E2zwhr7Ma

You can see him reaching for her in this one. https://t.co/DUnTVI1zUx

Update:
Regarding Lewandowski’s earlier admission that he had grabbed Fields after mistaking her for an “adversarial” reporter, ex-Breitbart spokesman Kurt Bardella — who has resigned — had this to say:
He also added that Corey Lewandowski had not, as had been previously reported, admitted to the assault. In a text message exchange with Breitbart’s Matt Boyle, Bardella said, Lewandowski only said he didn’t know Fields was a Breitbart reporter and would look into the situation.
To all the lovely Twitteratti accusing me of lying about a communication between @CLewandowski_ and @mboyle1, The Daily Beast will post soon
