The Florida prosecutor whose office is handling the battery case involving Donald Trump's campaign manager is a long-time Democrat and former state senator who's now part of Hillary Clinton's so-called Florida leadership "council."

But an aide to Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg refused to address the potential political ramifications of the case, telling a Herald reporter that the subject of politics and the handling of the charges against Corey Lewandowski is an "inappropriate conversation."

"It's an inappropriate request, and we're not responding to it," spokesman Mike Edmondson scolded a Boston Herald reporter who asked to speak to Aronberg about balancing the case and his own political interests.

Aronberg, who was elected to the post in 2012, has been listed as a member of Clinton's "Florida Leadership Council" since November, along with several state senators, representatives and local elected officials. He also gave $1,000 to Clinton's campaign in January, according to campaign finance records.

A former assistant attorney general, the Harvard-educated Aronberg lost in the Democratic primary for the AG's post in 2010. He served in the Florida state Senate for eight years starting in 2002, when he was elected to the chamber as its youngest member.

This morning, Lewandowski, turned himself in this morning to police in Jupiter, Fla., after they charged him with misdemeanor battery for grabbing the arm of a former reporter for Breitbart News.

Witness testimony and surveillance video provided by Trump security from inside the a ballroom at Trump National on March 8 shows Lewandowski grabbing Michelle Fields by the arm and “yanking” her back, “causing her to turn and step back,” according to a police report released today.

“This motion cleared a path for Lewandowski to walk past Fields, allowing him to ‘catch up’ and get closer to Trump, who was walking during this entire incident,” according to the affidavit prepared by officer Marc Bujnowski.

“Fields showed me her left forearm, which revealed bruising from what appeared to be several finger marks indicating a grabbing type injury,” the affidavit said.

Fields, who at the time was a reporter for the conservative Breitbart News website, had accused Lewandowski of grabbing her arm as she tried to ask the GOP front-runner a question following his speech.

"Mr. Lewandowski is absolutely innocent of this charge," Trump said in a statement. "He will enter a plea of not guilty and looks forward to his day in court. He is completely confident that he will be exonerated.”

Trump then took to Twitter to express his frustration with the charges against Lewandowski.

"Wow, Corey Lewandowsi, my campaign manager and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter. Look at tapes-nothing there!" the mogul tweeted to his more than seven million followers.

A few seconds later, he followed up by tweeting, "Why aren't people looking at this reporters earlier statement as to what happened, that is before she found out the episode was on tape?"

In the affidavit, Fields said she felt someone grab her arm and asked a Washington Post whether it was “Corey,” to which he replied it was.

Lewandowski had taken to social media after the incident and vehemently denied ever having touched – or met – Fields.

Lewandowski was released with a notice to appear in court in May. He has retained a Florida attorney.
