The idiot woman kept insisting that the female reporter was being "aggressive" towards Trump and Trump's campaign manager was just allowing Trump to get out of the room. She said he didn't leave serious bruises, that the bruises were less than her 3 year old would leave.
It doesn't matter - Trump's lackey put his hand on the reporter. That is battery. Battery does not require that there be any injuries, only that someone make intentional physical contact.

From what I see on the video that is being played today if I were on the jury for this case I would convict the man.
