Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, has been the subject of intense scrutiny into his aggressive behavior in recent weeks, starting with alleged battery on former Breitbart reporter, Michelle Fields. He has also been videotaped grabbing the shirt collar of a protester. Reports have surfaced about late night, drunk calls to reporters from the press pool. He has denied all allegations and Trump has stood by him saying he "has spirit."
Lewandowski initially denied meeting Fields, even going so far as to tweet:
@MichelleFields you are totally delusional. I never touched you. As a matter of fact, I have never even met you.

Update 1: Keeping it classy, Lewandowski has hired as his attorney, "Miami's Kendall Coffey, who had to resign [his US Attorney] job in 1996 after biting a dancer during the process of running up a $900 bill at a strip club."
