About an hour after he reportedly turned himself in, he tweeted this:

Soon after the incident a few weeks ago, Lewandowski called Fields "delusional" and said he "never touched" her.
@MichelleFields you are totally delusional. I never touched you. As a matter of fact, I have never even met you.

However, a police video shows a different story.
One can clearly see Lewandowski grabbing Fields.
The Trump campaign says Lewandowski is innocent.
