After Donald Trump's campaign manager was arrested for assaulting a female reporter, Trump called the state attorney's office, asking that they "do the right thing," the state attorney said today. 

"Mr. Trump did reach out to this office," Attorney Dave Aronberg told reporters today. "He spoke to a few of us, the chief assistants and me."

"He gave his version of the facts and his opinion of the case and then urged us to 'do the right thing,'" Aronberg said. 

Asked what Trump's "versions of the facts" were, Aronberg said, "The version of the facts was she touched him and pretty much that’s it. She touched him and he did not think that Mr. Lewandowski should be prosecuted for it."
