VIDEO: Reporter Fires Back at
Top Trump Aide
Former Breitbart reporter and Fox News contributor Michelle Fields sat
down with CNN for an exclusive interview on CNN yesterday morning to
discuss and clarify her comments in the wake of charges against Corey
Lewandowski being dropped. As Mediaite reports:
When addressing the various media figures who deemed Fields’ charges
against Corey Lewandowski a “joke”, the former Breitbart reporter
emphasized that the alleged arm-grabbing wasn’t nearly as much the
center of commotion as were the retaliatory smears that Trump’s camp
threw her way.
When asked whether she acted unprofessionally by approaching
Trump’s “protective bubble,” Fields shot back that that argument was
“ridiculous” and that it was “sketchy” that the independent source cited
by prosecutors in their decision actually came at the suggestion of the
Trump camp.
“You look at the prosecutors and his wife’s social media. They are at
Donald Trump’s resort all of the time. You look at the prosecutors wife
owns a PR firm. You look at the PR firm’s website and she talks about
why you should work with her PR firm because she has lots of great
working relationships and the first picture is her and Donald Trump
and her and Trump’s wife. I can’t speak for anyone else but if I were
a prosecutor and my wife was trying to monetize her relationship with
Donald Trump and it’s right on her website, I would recuse myself in
that situation.”
Earlier this week, Fields ally Ben Shapiro wrote a piece about detailing
the nine times the Trump campaign and Corey Lewandowski changed
their story. For his part, Lewandowski, who many feel has been
demoted by the campaign in light of this and other erratic behavior,
has offered to have a conversation with Fields.
