Friends, fans and her famous sons. Nightly news begins right now. Announcer from nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. Good evening. Donald trump is standing by his man tonight even though his man, Campaign Manager cory loon doisk, has been charged with battery against a report. It began as a he said she said when reporter Michelle Fields claimed lewandowski man handled her at a campaign event. He denied it and said she was delusion a. But then there is the tale of the tape, and police say what they saw on that tape was real, leaving the architect of trumps bid for the white house in hot water and bolstering concerns about the tone and climate of this campaign. Nbcs Peter Alexander has details. Reporter police say the crime was caught on tape. This closecircuit video shows Donald Trumps Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski grabbing former breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, lewandowski facing a charge for battery or unwanted touching, a misdemeanor and it details an audio recording from the iphone last night. I cant believe he just did, that fields said. That was so hard. Was that corey . Lewandowski turned himself in and was released. His lawyers insist hes absolutely innocent. This afternoon trump defended his top aide. She was running up and grabbing and asking questions and she wasnt supposed to be doing that, and i think he should i told him. You should never settle this case. You should go all the way. I think they have really hurt a very good person. Reporter at the time fields tweeted this picture of her bruised arm tweeting i guess these just magically appeared on me. So weird. Lewandowski denied fields account calling her totally delusional adding i never touched you. Today fields and trump going back and forth on twitter. Trump asking why arent people looking at this reporters earliest statement . Fields responding my story never changed. Seriously, just stop lying. Aboard his jet trump mocked fields and stop by loon dousky. Im sticking up for a person because im not going to let a persons life be destroyed. Reporter trumps hardcharging deputies had a series of runins with protesters recently grabbing one man by the collar and the press, threatening to confiscate a medias credentials unless they leave the assigned area. They have received unwanted verbal overtures suggesting them as belittle and the campaign denied such behavior calling them baseless. In 1999 lewandowski, then a congressional staffer, was arrested after entering a Congressional Office building with a loaded weapon. Ultimately the Supreme Court denied his effort to get the gun back, but he was acquitted of any wrongdoing. Based on florida law, if convicted, Corey Lewandowski could be sentenced to up to a year in jail and the state Attorneys Office here in florida tells nbc news for a firsttime offender that type of sentence, lester, would be highly unusual. Peter, as you just showed us, trump is vowing to stand by his Campaign Manager and says he does not, quote, discard people. Nbcs katy tur has followed the Trump Campaign since the very beginning. Katy, any surprise that trump is not backing down here . Reporter i dont think we should be surprised by this at all. Trump has given every indication that he is standing by cory lown dusky. Take the progression on this incident alone. First donald trump said he absolutely this did not happen and then there would be video to prove if it did happen and then he said that Michelle Fields is the one who started it. Its the same sort of pushback i got from donald trump when i asked him if there would be consequences if these allegations turned out to be true. Now the question is will there be consequences at the voting booth here in wisconsin . As trumps Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski faces a battery charge. Thank you. Reporter donald trump charged on, campaigning in wisconsin today. Standing by his righthand man just as he did in the days after the alleged incident. So, you know, they had a lot of cameras there. I mean, if somebody went down, there would be pictures. Everybody has pictures. Reporter if it comes to light that something did happen, are you going to do something about it . There will be some sort of punishment . Suppose it comes to nothing to light happened, will you apologize to him. Reporter loon doufrky has been seen by trumps side since the beginning and hes on the vernal of leading trump to the nomination, by doing what many wouldnt, letting trump be trump and as such the never back down campaign is sill not backing down, and neither are his supporters. Politics is a blood sport. Nfl players get away with it all the time. Reporter but his rivals sense an opening. Its a very sad development and this is the consequence of the culture of the Trump Campaign. When we see things that are very disturbing, we then take action, and i think thats what needs to be done. Reporter republican hopefuls converging on wisconsin. Because if we win wisconsin, its its like going to be over, pretty much over. Reporter a wild card state. Trump has the advantage of an open primary where anyone can change parties and sameday votes, but ted cruz leads polling, and today got the endorsement of Governor Scott walker on a local radio program. I just fundamentally believe in a hes a constitutional conservative. Reporter gop insiders warning if there was ever a chance to stop trump, wisconsin is it. Loon doufrky, the charges against lewandowski come at a particularly bad time for donald trump who is facing a significant gender gap. 70 of women nationally say they have an unfavorable view of donald trump. Its hard to imagine how allegations like these help that cause. As for his support here, i smoke to supporter after supporter who told me that frankly stuff like this just didnt matter to them. Lester . All right, katy, thank you. Now that hostage crisis overseas in which americans were among those aboard an egypt air flight to cairo hijacked by a man claiming he was wearing a bomb. He forced the pilots to divert, setting in motion a dramatic standoff that played out for hours amid everyones worst fears until an egyptian official told the media, quote, hes not a terrorist. Hes an idiot. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez explains and takes us inside the drama on board. Reporter the scenario was horrifying, a commercial jet hijacked, one of its pastures pictured here on the plane with a belt he claimed was filled with explosives. The drama unfolding on egypt air flight ms181. At 6 31 a. M. Eastern time it took off from alexandria bound from cairo and the hijacker, seif eldin mustafa, demanded it be diverted to egypt. There were eight americans on board, most soon released, walking walk down down the runway with their luggage. One of the pilots scrambled out of the cockpit window as negotiators pleaded with the hijacker to release the remaining hostages. At 2 40 local time he surrendered but not before taking this selfie with a passenger. That explosive belt, fake. The planes captain saying tonight thing god were all safe. From the information that we have right now this could have occurred at many different airports all throughout the world. Surveillance shid showing the suspect passing right through security. Tonight Authorities Say this high jaerks motive is unclear, but at one point he demanded to speak with his exwife who lives in cypress. Its not something we has to do with terrorism. Reporter a bizarre highstakes hoax with the world watching. The hijacker is due in court here tomorrow. As for the passengers, no one was injured and most were flown to cairo just a short time ago.
