Trump Campaign Manager's Defense Lawyer is a Former U.S. Attorney Who Resigned
Because People Found Out He Bit a StripperNot The Onion!

Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was charged with simple battery today for allegedly manhandling Michelle Fields, a reporter for the conservative news outlet Breitbart. One of the criminal attorneys representing him in these matters is a former U.S. Attorney who left office after it became public that he had bitten a dancer at a strip club....
According to a statement issued by the Trump campaign, Lewandowski currently has two defense attorneys: Former assistant state’s attorney Scott Richardson and former U.S. Attorney Kendall B. Coffey. Back in 1996, Coffey resigned from his position in the Southern District of Florida after it was revealed that, “despondent” over the loss of a big drug case, he went to a strip club and bit a dancer over a bottle of $900 champagne.
“He bit her, but not like a crazy man,” the woman’s husband told the Sun Sentinel. “But he did break the skin.”
He left the office rather than weather the criticism, friends said at the time, because it was the right thing to do. Via the Sun Sentinel:
Bob Burlington, a Miami lawyer, friend and former law partner of Coffey, said he thought recent media coverage of the stripper incident forced Coffey to resign out of a sense of duty to protect the integrity of the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
