Shortly after Donald Trump’s campaign announced which lawyers would be representing his campaign manager, an advisor at the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC took to Twitter to attack one of them.

It seems Kendall Coffey, one of Corey Lewandowski’s attorneys, is a former federal prosecutor who resigned the post in 1996 after he allegedly bit a stripper in an altercation at a topless nightclub.

Coffey is one of two lawyers defending Lewandowski, who is facing a misdemeanor battery charge after an altercation with a female journalist from Breitbart News at a campaign rally in Florida earlier this month.

Coffey, who has been in private practice and has served on the Florida Federal Judicial Nominating Commission, according to his bio, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. The Trump campaign also did not respond.

Here is what the Sun Sentinel reported when he resigned in 1996:

The husband of the dancer said he was "shocked'' that Coffey resigned. "I want to see him reinstated,'' said the husband, who asked that he and his wife not be identified by name. "It wasn't necessary,'' the dancer said. "It is not what we wanted.'' The husband and wife declined to discuss the alleged incident other than to say that Coffey paid $900 for a bottle of champagne and bit the dancer on the arm during a dispute in the club. "He bit her, but not like a crazy man,'' the husband said. "But he did break the skin.''

Coffey told the paper he wasn’t allowed to discuss the incident at the Lipstik Adult Entertainment Club but said he had no choice but to resign.

"With the allegations recently raised and pending, I now have concerns about the possible impact on the important work of my office,” he said.
