Trump told ABC on Sunday that Lewandowski didn't touch the protester.

"I give him credit for having spirit," Trump told ABC. "He wanted them to take down those horrible profanity-laced signs."

Earlier this month, Lewandowski allegedly grabbed and violently pulled former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields away from Trump. Lewandowski denied that claim, calling Fields an "attention seeker."
