The night of the Michigan and Mississippi primaries, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski grabbed Fields and yanked her away from the candidate—leaving bruises on her left arm--as she was attempting to conduct an interview.
Recently released video of the encounter clearly shows the Trump campaign manager laying hands on the Breitbart reporter as he appears to pull her away from Trump while the candidate exited a victory rally/news conference at the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Fla.
After offering tepid public support for Fields—who ultimately filed a misdemeanor complaint against Lewandowski with the Jupiter police department—the site published stories questioning her account of what happened while Trump claimed she “made it up” and Lewandowski tweeted that she is an “attention-seeker” and “delusional.”
According to a witness to a conference call with Bannon last Wednesday, as the controversy was reaching a boiling point, the notoriously foul-mouthed Bannon erupted over a story in The Daily Beast that recounted a version of Boyle’s late-night communication with Lewandowski, in which the campaign manager admitted to political editor that he had grabbed Fields, but didn’t realize she was Breitbart reporter.
Appearing with Shapiro Monday night on Fox News’s The Kelly File—her second interview with Megyn Kelly to discuss the incident—the 28-year-old Fields said she resigned from Breitbart on Monday because “I realized that my company didn't have my back. I can't stand with a company that won't stand for me.”
She added: “They knew the truth from the very beginning. My editor as soon as it happened had spoken to Corey. He told me that Corey has admitted to it and I was getting an apology so I stayed quiet. I wasn't going to make a big deal about it...I never got the apology. Instead they embarked on this smear campaign against me.”
