[egbertowillies]

After Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs had accused GOP Congressional Candidate Greg Gianforte of body-slamming him, the Republican's campaign released a statement saying Jacobs was the assaulter even though the audio implied otherwise. Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna provided a damning eyewitness account proving the campaign lied.

7. Update: Republican Montana Congressional Candidate Greg Gianforte charged with assault

It took longer than it should, but the Gallatin Sheriff's office charged Republican Montana Congressional Candidate Greg Gianforte with assault for body-slamming Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs.

Bozeman Daily is reporting the following,

"Late on the night before a hotly contested special election, U.S. House candidate Greg Gianforte was charged with misdemeanor assault after a national political reporter alleged the Republican “body slammed” him, sending a last-minute shock wave through the race. ...

After multiple interviews with witnesses Wednesday night, the sheriff’s office cited Gianforte for the misdemeanor. Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin said the incident did not meet the criteria for a felony charge.

"Gianforte must appear in Gallatin County Justice Court between now and June 7. ...

The sheriff said charges were not filed at the scene because investigators didn’t have enough information at the time. He said the detective division is treating the case like any other investigation.

I believe it was the Democrats who have called for him to drop out of the race... He was originally projected to win.
