Trump's presidential race has been causing lots of trouble with protests and now, his campaign manager is also in hot waters after a reporter filed a criminal complaint against him.
According to Nano News, Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields responded to controversies that Donald Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, has attacked her. She filed a police report on Friday alleging that the campaign manager battered her at a Trump press conference in Florida. The incident has been taken place on Tuesday at the Trump National Golf Course. However, Trump spoke regarding this incident saying "Nothing happened."
Media Matters wrote that there are other allegations regarding Lewandowski's behavior and the media hasn't been reporting much of it. According to them, though Trump is getting lots of interviews, not a single network has asked him about the alleged assault committed by his campaign manager. Fields even claimed that her former editor said the incident is a great way to have more access with Donald Trump. Media Matters also found out that even on political shows of NBC, CNN, Fox and CBS, the personnel didn't ask Trump about the incident.
Moreover, Lewandowski also received concerns from the staff as reported by Politico. They are focusing on his temper and heavy-handed leadership, with some of the staff rumored to plan a coup against him. But since Trump's campaign is getting series of victories, it ended talks of firing Lewandowski. Nonetheless, Trump is getting pressure to fire the campaign manager especially for the alleged accident done to Michelle Fields. Another 20 sources also reported to deal with Lewandowski's behavior during his year-long tenure with Trump.
These allegations focus on him being hard and tough to reporters, sexually suggestive to female journalists and berating some conservative officials. Others see this as suggesting that being superior means there is room to exercise the behaviors. Meanwhile, Lewandowski is awaited to release a public apology. The controversy caused tensions with Breitbart while Bardella, their spokersperson, quit and pointing out the same issue as the reason.
