President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, took to Twitter on Sunday night to express how proud he is of his daughter by posting a picture of her in only a bra and stockings while “channeling her Edie Sedgwick.”
So proud of my Ivy League daughter…brains and beauty channeling her Edie Sedgwick. On Instagram @samichka_ pic.twitter.com/mpQxhr3mh3

Cohen was apparently trying to promote his daughter’s Instagram account, but not everyone thought the move was a good idea. Twitter was quick to respond, calling Cohen creepy and bringing up questionable comments Trump has made about his own daughter, Ivanka.
One user wrote, “Super duper creepy. Ewww man wtf,” while another said, “Usually dads are angry when they see pics like this of their daughter.”
Cohen defended his actions, asking one critic if they were “jealous” and calling another a “hater.”
“Beauty and brains you a-hole! It’s a modeling shot remake from an old Edie Sedgwick photo,” Cohen wrote in response to a user suggesting that Trump must be rubbing off on him.
Check out some of the reaction:
Most fathers don't post lingerie shots of their daughters. I guess #Trump must be rubbing
off on you.— Professor Chaos (@akaProfessorCha) May 15, 2017
Yep, she's gorgeous, however most fathers don't share lingerie pics of their daughters on social media Mr Creepypants.

Edie Sedgwick bucked social norms for women in the mid-1960's. If you'd been her dad, you'd have been angry and terrified.

Cohen is a longtime associate of Trump who serves as his personal lawyer and acts as a spokesman on personal legal matters. He was also tied to the infamous, unverified Russian dossier that BuzzFeed controversially published but denied all involvement.
