Donald Trump accused former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields of changing her story once she realized there was surveillance video of the incident involving herself and campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.
“When she saw that tape, all of a sudden the story started changing,” Trump said in an interview Monday night with Fox News Host Sean Hannity. Trump called criminal charges of simple battery against Lewandowski “a great injustice.”
As Trump spoke, Fields was watching–and sharing her thoughts on Twitter, where she accused Trump of repeatedly lying:
Insane. @realDonaldTrump knows I didn't do this. Continues to lie and lie and lie. https://t.co/QfYN4bbKpP

Fields, a former Fox News contributor who has been a regular guest on FNC shows, also suggested Hannity was asking Trump softball questions:
This whole situation is insane. So sad to see my "friend" @seanhannity not challenge Trump on his lies https://t.co/kLTxb8JIqg

Alright @seanhannity. Ignore all the evidence. Congrats I'm sure this will earn you another town hall with Trump
