A married Trump donor has told police she feared for her safety when former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski 'told her he stabbed a man in the back of the head and killed him,' at a Las Vegas fundraiser where he 'stalked' and repeatedly touched her, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Trashelle Odom, of Boise, Idaho, the wife of a construction company executive, claimed in the police report obtained by DailyMail.com that the married Lewandowski said that he 'was from a bad part of Boston and to have killed people,' while seated next to her at the charity dinner at the Westgate Hotel in Las Vegas on on September 26.
Odom claimed that on the night of the dinner - which she was personally invited to with South Dakota Gov Kristi Noem by American socialite Jackie Siegel - she was frightened when he allegedly told her: 'When I was 10, I stabbed someone over and over again, killing him. She added that the father-of-four told her that when he was older, he 'stabbed a man in the back of the head, also killing him'.
'I initially believed that he was joking and attempted to laugh it off,' she noted but the statements came after Lewandowski had already made unwanted sexual advanced towards her.
'Lewandowski proceeded to come on to me aggressively by first stating that, he works out twice a day, that he runs 400miles a week, and that's why he can last for eight hours at a time in bed,' Odom claimed Lewandowski said to her, according to the police statement.

'He went so far as requesting the suite number I was staying in and indicated he was staying in the 'Elvis Suite' which I now know as untrue,' Odom told police.
'Eventually, he showed me his room key, room 2991, which was next door to my suite, 2989, where I was staying with my sister and children.'
'Around that time' Lewandowski told Odom that 'he does not do anything with his wife - he gets sex elsewhere' and then 'commented that Gov Noem is hot,' according to the police statement.
Odom told Idaho cops: 'Those statements, coupled with his demeanor and aggressive behaviors, I was intimidated...and fearful for my safety and that of my family members.'
According to her statement, Lewandowski repeatedly remarked about the size of his genitals, too, describing that his 'd*** is four times bigger than a normal d***'.
He proceeded to touch Odom multiple times.
Odom told Idaho cops that political operative Corey Lewandowski told her: 'When I was 10, I stabbed someone over and over again, killing him.' Odom said he added that when he was older he 'stabbed a man in the back of the head, also killing him,' which made her fear for her life

Her statement to the police read: 'Lewandowski tried to hold my hand. I rebuffed him. Lewandowski used his pinky to play with my hand. I rebuffed him. Lewandowski grabbed the napkin off of my lap and touched my bare leg. I rebuffed him and pulled my dress over my bare skin to prevent him from touching me again.
Odom noted that 'these were my first events as a member of the advisory board of this charity, so it was important to me to attend and be supportive'. 'I never expected to have this experience,' she added
'Lewandowski told me that he was 'sore from a workout' and proceeded to demonstrate where he was sore from a workout, on the side of his butt, and he (without my permission or desire) touched me there. Ultimately, I believe I rebuffed him approximately 10 times.'
When she tried to get away from an aggressive Lewandowski and return to her room at the hotel where her sister was waiting for her, Lewandowski followed. 'While descending the stairs Lewandowski repeatedly commented, "Nice a**" to me.'
Odom told the Idaho officers: 'It was apparent that my reactions to Lewandowski’s stories, threats, and aggressive sexual advances were not normal for Lewandowski as (he) ultimately threw his drink at me, hitting my dress, shoe, and foot.'
Odom noted that 'these were my first events as a member of the advisory board of this charity, so it was important to me to attend and be supportive'.
'I never expected to have this experience,' she added.
'Those statements, coupled with his demeanor and aggressive behaviors' made Odom 'intimidated and frightened and fearful for my safety and that of my family members,' she said in her statement to police.
According to the police statement, Odom (pictured with husband) tried to change the subject and asked Lewandowski about his wife and kids, to which he replied that 'he does not do anything with his wife - he gets sex elsewhere'

The Trump team said they were cutting ties with Lewandowski, one of his longest-serving advisers and his first campaign manager, after Odom's allegations came to light.
Odom's husband John Odom said in a statement after the political operative was fired fired from his role as head of the pro-Trump super PAC Make America Great Again Action earlier in the week: 'Today, my wife took the brave step of submitting a police report regarding the reprehensible behavior of Corey Lewandowski on September 26th, 2021.
'Our family wants to thank President Trump for taking swift and decisive action after learning of the events that took place that evening, and for his service to our nation as President, as well as for his future service.'
John penned that he and his family 'believe in law enforcement, and are hopeful that the police and prosecutors will use this information to pursue justice'.
'For all others with information regarding this man's violent, harassing, and traumatizing behavior, we encourage you to speak up. Accountability is sorely needed,' he added.
'We are not public people, so it has meant a lot to us to have so many reach out to offer prayers and support. Our family offers our prayers and support to all families impacted by unsolved murders in the Boston area and elsewhere.'
'Corey Lewandowski will be going on to other endeavors and we very much want to thank him for his service. He will no longer be associated with Trump World,' Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich wrote on Twitter.
Lewandowski was removed from the former president's orbit years earlier when he was fired as his campaign manager in 2016.
He would appear to return in 2017 when Trump offered him a job with his administration, which he rejected, telling friends that it was 'beneath him,' the Daily Beast reported.
Three years later Trump appointed him to a Pentagon advisory board in the final weeks of his presidency, which President Joe Biden would block in early February.

The alleged events took place at the Westgate hotel in Las Vegas

A lawyer for Lewandowski, who has been married since 2005 and has four kids, blasted the allegations as 'rumors'.
Odom also alleges Lewandowski claims he wielded enormous power thanks to his connections to the former president and said he had committed violent acts earlier in his life.
The statement claims Lewandowski 'showed Odom his hotel room key'
Odom was one of around two dozen major Republican Party donors at the event which took place during an event at the Westgate Las Vegas hotel for the Victoria's Voice Foundation, which focuses on substance abuse.
Odom is said to have appeared uncomfortable at the event while Lewandowski appeared to be intoxicated.
The statement was sent to police in Boise, Idaho, where Odom lives, with the intention of having it delivered to their counterparts in Las Vegas.
The three-page statement estimates that Odom rebuffed Lewandowski's physical advances 10 times.
She accuses Lewandowski, 48, of following her around after leaving the dinner and that he remarked how she had a 'nice ass'.
The married Lewandowski is then alleged to have continued his pursuit at a post-dinner reception.

On Friday night, Lewandowski's attorney, David Chesnoff refused to comment on the police statement claiming not to have seen it yet
Earlier in the week, Odom made a similar statement as she went public with the allegations.
'I am coming forward because he needs to be held accountable,' Odom said. 'I am blessed to have a loving husband and family behind me. I want other women to know that you can be heard, too, and together we can stop terrible things like this from happening.'
Odom wrote how she was afraid upon reaching her hotel room because Lewandowski's room was right next to hers. She tells how she timed her departure the following day to ensure she did not run into him.
'I went into my room crying and trembling as I did not know if I had just ruined everything that my family had worked so hard to grow,' Odom said in the statement.
Lewandowski's attorney, David Chesnoff refused to comment on the statement, saying he has yet to see it.
'It's premature to respond to something that hasn't been filed up until now and that we haven't seen and we will respond if appropriate,' Chesnoff said.
