Aronberg also went to law school with Donald Trump's Republican rival, Sen. Ted Cruz - though isn't supporting the GOP candidate

The Florida-based prosecutor whose office will handle the battery case of Donald Trump's campaign manager is a Hillary Clinton supporter who once characterized the Republican frontrunner's rhetoric as 'divisive and inflammatory.'

Dave Aronberg, the 44-year-old State Attorney for Palm Beach County, was a former Democratic state senator and in November was named as part of Clinton's 'Florida Leadership Team.'

These political connections have caused Trump supporters to take to Twitter worrying that Corey Lewandowski, Trump's campaign manager who yesterday was charged with simple battery over an altercation with ex-Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, wouldn't get a fair shake.

A representative for Aronberg's spokesman Mike Edmondson said the office would not be commenting on political matters.

Yesterday the political world was rocked when the Jupiter Police Department charged Lewandowski with simple battery, a misdemeanor, over an incident that occurred at the end of a March 8 press conference.

Fields, in her report to police, said that she approached Trump and asked him a question as he was exiting the press conference when 'she felt someone yank her left arm.'

'She added that she fell back but caught herself from falling,' the report said.

Lewandowski had originally denied Fields' claims, which she wrote about on Breitbart.com before going to police three days later, but the investigation – in which Trump turned over footage from the event – produced enough evidence that there was probable cause.

'In that he did intentionally touch Michelle Fields ... against the will of Michelle Fields,' the police report said.

Since the news came out, Trump has defended Lewandowski, telling reporters yesterday that he does not just 'discard' people, while suggesting that Fields grabbed him first, a point that a member of Trump's Secret Service detail corroborated with the frontrunner for Dailymail.com.

'She crossed in between agents and our protectee after being told not to,' said the agent, who was present that night in Jupiter, Florida.

Fields has kept a low profile, tweeting out just once: 'Seriously, just stop lying,' after Trump had tweeted out that people should be looking at her earliest statements for inconsistencies.

'My story never changed,' Fields said.

Trump pointed out that she had written: 'Campaign managers aren’t supposed to try to forcefully throw reporters to the ground, no matter the circumstance,' as part of her initial op-ed.

It was first the Boston Herald and Trump supporters online who sniffed out a potential political problem with the case, putting two-and-two together that Aronberg was backing the Democratic frontrunner in the presidential race.

Coincidentally, he also attended law school with Trump's Republican rival, Sen. Ted Cruz.

'He lived right below me and I knew him pretty well there and he is an entertainer,' Aronberg divulged during a television hit last year on NewsmaxTV.

'He's a really smart guy and a really smooth talker and I liked Ted in law school,' Aronberg continued.

But showing off his Democratic leanings he said Cruz 'is not going to be president' because 'he is someone who is so far right.'

During another hit, filmed even before the first Republican debate in August, Aronberg suggested that Trump could never get elected because he's alienated too many Hispanic voters.

Continuing to play pundit, Aronberg pointed out that The Donald would need Latino voters to win.

'And yet the stuff that's coming out of his mouth, the things he's saying is so divisive and so inflammatory it's turning off many of the people he'll need to win the general election,' Aronberg said on NewsmaxTV.

Later in the program, he reminded the audience of some of the comments Trump had made about illegal Mexican immigrants during the billionaire's presidential announcement speech that Trump memorably arrived at via escalator.
