Lawyer For Top Trump Aide Resigned As US Atty After Allegedly Biting Stripper

Talking Points Memo ^ | 3/29/16 | Katherine Krueger

An attorney helping Donald Trump's embattled campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, fight a battery charge previously resigned from his Justice Department post after allegations surfaced that he bit a dancer at a south Florida strip club.

Kendall Coffey, who was the U.S. attorney in Miami from 1993 to 1996, resigned just one day after being called to Washington to meet with then-U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

After racking up a $900 bill at the Lipstik Club in south Miami-Dade County, Coffey allegedly bit a stripper known only as "Tiffany" during a dispute. He paid the bill with a credit card before being kicked out of the club, according to the Miami Herald. The paper also reported Coffey's father later bought back the credit card slip for $1,200 in an attempt to conceal his alleged involvement.

While the woman and her husband told the Sentinel at the time the bite was hard enough to break the skin, they said they didn't want to end his political career.

The Sentinel also reported Coffey went to the strip club because he was feeling "despondent" about a recent high-profile acquittal of two men charged with smuggling $2 billion of cocaine into the country over 13 years.

Coverage of that earlier incident bubbled up after the Trump campaign said Tuesday in a statement that Coffey would represent Lewandowski in Miami.

Talk about a headline that is impossible to resist.

[blowfish]

One of The Donald’s top people, no doubt.

Researching degrees of separation lawyer - OK.

Researching Harvard lawyers like Obama and Cruz - Nahhh

[Resolute Conservative]

If I were a Justice Department attorney prosecuting drug dealers the last place you would find me would be a strip club. The body might not ever be found...

[billorites]

In the future all strippers will be named “Tiffany”.

[Iron Munro]

A stripper named “Tiffany” ?

How unique !

[proust]

Cruzbot repsonse: there’s no proof that it happened!

[Arm_Bears]

And yet, nobody who went to high school with Obama has been identified and interviewed.

[circlecity]

Uhhhh, Hillary is married to a lawyer who got disbarred for lying under oath in a deposition.

[SampleMan]

The bite or the resignation?

[proust]

The bite. It says allegedly.

[blueunicorn6]

I had an Air Force pilot offer me twenty bucks to bite this one girl on her behind.

I told him to fly off.

About five minutes later, I hear a scream and that woman runs by holding her hand on her behind.

That Air Force pilot made that bet with a Special Forces Officer.

I told the pilot the Special Forces guys are cannibals.

He left.

[TheTimeOfMan]

I didn’t vote for Trump - but this is just mud slinging. This has nothing to do with Trump.

My cousin’s, mother’s, aunt... yeesh
