Controversial presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign manager has been arrested in Florida with assault charges.

A recent report from the Jupiter Police Dept said Corey Lewandowski was charged for unintentionally grabbing a former reporters arm "against her will," reports CNBC.

"Mr. Lewandowski is absolutely innocent of this charge," Donald said in a statement. 

"He will enter a plea of not guilty and looks forward to his day in court. He is completely confident that he will be exonerated." The incident allegedly took place at a Trump campaign event at the beginning of this month.
