Former Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields expressed disappointment late Wednesday night that a Florida prosecutor leaked his decision not to prosecute Donald Trump’s campaign manager for battery to the press.
Fields thought she’d be the first to know.
In March, Fields said that campaign manager Corey Lewandowski grabbed her and bruised her arm while she was questioning Trump as he walked out of a press event. She later filed assault charges against Lewandowski.
Ben Shapiro, a former Breitbart columnist, said that the decision by the Florida prosecutor not to prosecute does not exonerate Lewandowski.
Fox News host and attorney Greta Van Susteren advised Fields not pursue a civil lawsuit:
Free legal advice to Michelle Fields: don’t bring a civil lawsuit https://t.co/pfx43rHOpQ

Fields tweeted that she isn’t interested in the advice:
I think I’ll pass on getting legal advice from a Trump shill. Thanks tho. https://t.co/YoPznOC9LB
