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.

Michelley Belly is going to rue the day she commited battery against Donald Trump.

This was the reporters statement- when she found out there was tape from my facility, she changed her tune. pic.twitter.com/N5815RS1At— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 29, 2016ockquote>

Victory press conference was over.
Why is she allowed to grab me and shout questions? Can I press charges? pic.twitter.com/qbW2RjkINX— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 29, 2016

As someone who supports Cruz, I think this story is irrelevant in regards to Trump and should have no bearing on the election. As someone learning it took $900 at a strip club for this guy to feel better about losing a case against a drug lord, I’m glad it was posted.

I heard Trump’s garbage man once littered.

Obviously stone him!

One thing that has been bothering me for decades now is that sainthood is expected of everyone on the right.

Sorry, only Jesus qualifies.

Meanwhile society has moved on.

In my rock and roll days, you’d be amazed at the things I’ve done.

And, no, I’m not going to recite them on FR. The funny thing is that even then, I was the “conservative” one among the five guys in the band.

[PROCON]

Guilty. BTW she asked me to, for no extra charge.

I hope you tipped her...

[AFreeBird]

A bachelor party, in Florida, for a buddy of mine, and the stripper bit him. LOL

[PROCON]

I hear ya, I am amazed I lived through my 20’s with all the stupid, “Hold ma beer” stuff I did.

The last RAT candidate for Governor of KS was caught in a strip club raid. He claimed he was “consulting with a client”.

If Corey saw her grab Trump’s arm, that would have been why he reacted in the way he did by pulling her away.

A friend of mine has a dog that bit the neighbor while eating a certain brand of dog food that a top Trump campaign operative also feeds to his dog.

[spokeshave]

Did the alleged biting take place at a Moose Lodge.....?

“I knew a guy in law school that bit a stripper.”

That’s nothing.
I knew a guy in med school that bit a moose.

[skimbell]

Yeah, that sure narrows it down.

[Steven Tyler]

Is’nt CBS the tiffany network.......

[skimbell]

Alright, I guess then that it IS alright to bring Bubba into the conversation concerning his wife.

[Defiant]

Rush's lawyer was also the guy who represented a Kennedy kid accused of a rape charge. Well connected democrat as I recall.

The criminal defense bar is mostly, if not exclusively, liberals.

[dforest]

Thank you and I agree. What does this have to do with Trump?

People, when it gets this bad, face it, it is all over and Hillary wins.

[dforest]

Ypou must recite or we must indict! LOL
