Trump's lawyer tweets photo of his own scantily-clad daughter
Michael Cohen, an attorney for Donald Trump, shared a black and white photo of his daughter wearing lingerie and tights.
The 21-year-old, who attends the University of Pennsylvania, is pictured striking an artistic pose.

"So proud of my Ivy League daughter...brains and beauty channeling her Edie Sedgwick," Cohen wrote in his tweet, referencing a model who had close ties to Andy Warhol.
He directed people to his daughter's Instagram, where she shared the photo herself.
Edie Sedgwick vibes ✨ You can find me in the factory @abipolinsky

Most Twitter users were unhappy about the original post:
Yep, she's gorgeous, however most fathers don't share lingerie pics of their daughters on social media Mr Creepypants.

In response to a Twitter user who accused him of posting pornographic material, Cohen replied, "Jealous?"
Jealous?

He further defended himself by saying it's simply a remake of a famous photo.
Beauty and brains you a-hole! It's a modeling shot remake from an old Edie Sedgwick photo. #hater

A vigilant expert pointed out that the original seriously differs from his daughter's version.
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.

Gaze is not demure and downward. It is direct. She is not sitting on draped furniture. She is sitting on a man as if he was furniture.

Sedgwick represented the epitome of the modern female sexuality the Trump administration is doing everything in its power to suppress.

She was an original who would have detested Donald Trump & anyone who helped or represented him. Keep her name out of your mouth.

Not everyone found Cohen's tweet to be creepy, though.
As mother of 2 Ivy daughters this pic is no big deal. The kids consider it art & impressive. You people r unsophisticated & out of touch.
