saturday, they obtained that overhead video footage of the altercation from the trump national security department. that, you see there in the screen, that moving circle with their interaction. i should note that video is, as lawyers would say, more dispositive, more clear, as to the interaction than a lot of the other side videos that we had seen. and then, i'm reading from this police report, the police officer basically says, quote, this video parallels what field had told me. trump was walking towards the exit of the ballroom, taking questions, she is seen on the video trying to ask him a question, trump looks in her direction, lewandowski extends his left arm out, believed to be a secret service agent, the report states, after extending his arm out, lewandowski appeared to reach for field's left arm, allowing him to get closer with her, grabbing with his right hand and causing her to turn and step back, end quote. so again, that is the kind of inquiry and evidence that the jupiter police department reviewed in order to reach what they call a probable cause determination. that basically is law
