Corey Lewandowski, presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign manager, has been charged with committing battery against reporter Michelle Fields at a Trump campaign event in Florida earlier this month. Never mind the witnesses, video evidence, and police report; Candidate Trump defends his thuggish aide and blames the reporter.
Mr. Trump says he got Mr. Lewandowski a lawyer. What kind of lawyer did he get to defend a guy charged with manhandling a woman? One who quit his federal job when he was accused of biting a stripper.
