‘Ugly’: Michelle Fields Reacts to Reports Lewandowski Won’t Be Prosecuted

Former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields reacted tonight to the reports that Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski won’t be prosecuted for battery after she filed a police report against him.

Fields wasn’t happy that the news had been leaked before she was set to be personally informed tomorrow:

Prosecutor's office told me they would inform me of decision tomorrow. If reports true, guess they decided to leak to reporters first. Ugly.

And on top of that, NBC News’ Katy Tur is reporting tonight that a deal wherein Lewandowski would have apologized to Fields fell through:

UPDATE –– 8:31 pm EST: Fields confirmed that such a deal was talked about:

For those asking, office of prosecutor asked 2 weeks ago if I'd be ok with an apology from Corey. I said ya but haven't heard back about it
