FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Florida police have charged Donald Trump's campaign manager with simple battery in connection with an incident earlier in the month involving a reporter.
After examining the evidence, Jupiter, Florida, police determined that probable cause existed to charge Corey Lewandowski, who has served as Trump's top political aide for his entire presidential run. Police on Tuesday morning issued Lewandowski a notice to appear before a judge on May 4 for the misdemeanor charge, which carries up to a year in jail.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina's attorney general said Tuesday he won't defend in court a new state law preventing Charlotte and other local governments from approving access guarantees for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, calling it discriminatory and a "national embarrassment."
Democrat Roy Cooper made the announcement during a news conference a day after gay rights advocates sued to overturn the law approved last week and signed by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory.
