(CNN) A Maryland state's attorney's office confirmed Monday it had dropped charges against a woman accused of assaulting White House aide Kellyanne Conway. "It is the best resolution for all parties concerned," Ramon Korionoff, a spokesman for the Montgomery County state's attorney's office, said. "The defendant in this matter did apologize to the victim in this matter and did so in a recent letter." CNN first reported on the incident earlier this year, when Conway told CNN's Dana Bash that a woman grabbed and shook her while she was out with her teenage daughter at a Maryland restaurant last fall. Conway, a top aide to President Donald Trump, said in the interview that the woman had grabbed her from behind and shook her, and described the woman as "out of control."
