Jupiter Police Chief Frank Kitzerow told The Palm Beach Post this morning that Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s campaign manager, was released with a notice to appear in court after he turned himself in this morning at the Jupiter Police Department. Jupiter police had no contact with Donald Trump during the investigation resulting from the March 8 incident, said Kitzerow. “It was a very straightforward procedure,” said Kitzerow. Donald Trump has tweeted a response to the charge against his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. “Wow, Corey Lewandowski, my campaign manager and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter,” Trump said in the tweet. “Look at tapes-nothing

NARAL Pro-Choice America, which has endorsed Clinton, fired off a nearly minute-and-a-half web ad Thursday morning using not just Trump’s comments about abortion but other controversial comments about women. The ad begins with text that reads “Americans are starting to notice a pattern about Donald Trump…” and then switches to video of pigs digging through the mud. It also includes the clip from the town hall. Emily’s List, which also endorsed Clinton and focuses on getting pro-abortion rights women elected to office, has plans to blast out a series of releases tying all of the vulnerable GOP incumbents the group is campaigning against to Trump. “Yesterday Donald Trump announced that women in this country should be ‘punished’ if they get an abortion — before recanting, using the same language anti-choice groups have been using for years to whitewash their true agenda, which is taking away a woman’s right to make her own reproductive health care decisions and control her own body,” the release, provided to POLITICO, begins. “But the truth is that Donald Trump’s comments only pulled back the curtain on what the GOP has already been doing for years: punishing women through draconian laws and restrictions on their right to have an abortion.”

Wisconsin voters went to the polls Tuesday to decide whether Donald Trump’s latest self-inflicted wounds are deep enough to deny him a win in the state’s Republican primary, and, in turn, to diminish his hopes of winning the presidential nomination. In the unusual position of underdog, the billionaire faces the referendum after the roughest two-week stretch of his campaign. He saw fallout for mocking his chief rival’s wife, calling for punishment of women who have illegal abortions, and standing by a campaign manager charged with misdemeanor battery. The groups that aligned to stop Trump targeted Wisconsin as a proving ground because it’s the only GOP primary on the calendar before his home state, New York, votes on April 19. Tripping him up now could change the direction of a series of contests in the Northeast, including Pennsylvania and New York, where Trump is favored.

Primary voters in five Northeastern states handed presidential combatants Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton key wins Tuesday, giving them an aura of inevitability and leaving competitors worried about how they might alter the front-runners’ fortunes. Trump’s hurtling five-state sweep through Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island, especially in the wake of the real estate mogul’s triumph in New York last week, was a muscular rebuke to the stop-Trump drive, led by GOP candidates John Kasich and Ted Cruz. Exit polling conducted Tuesday showed a swell of voter acceptance of Trump as an acceptable nominee, including among self-identified “very conservative” as well as evangelical voters. News organizations called all five states for Trump within 30 minutes after the polls closed – a victory that should net him around 100 delegates when the counts are finalized. However, analysts believe Trump will be hunting for at least 250 more delegates even as his celebratory boasts Tuesday oozed confidence. Indeed, he went so far as to declare, “I consider myself the presumptive nominee.”

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Sunday he is open to raising taxes on wealthy Americans, backing off his prior proposal to reduce taxes on all Americans. "I am willing to pay more, and you know what, the wealthy are willing to pay more," Trump told ABC's "This Week." Trump, who effectively sealed the Republican presidential nomination last week after the departure from the race of his two remaining rivals, has pledged to unify the party behind him. But prominent Republicans remain deeply divided over the New York billionaire's candidacy. Republicans such as Paul Ryan, the top Republican in the House of Representatives, have distanced themselves from Trump over his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States.
