President Donald Trump’s lawyer tweeted a photo of his daughter wearing lingerie over the weekend – and then called those who criticized him for doing so “jealous.”

Michael Cohen, Trump’s high-profile personal attorney, on Sunday tweeted a photo of his college-age daughter Samantha Blake Cohen wearing a black bra and sheer pantyhose for a modeling shoot inspired by an iconic photo of pioneering model and actress Edie Sedgwick.

When people on Twitter called the decision to post the photo “creepy” and “inappropriate,” Cohen fired back by asking one of the posters whether she was “jealous” and using the words “hater” and “a-hole” to describe others.

Some of the critics grouped Cohen's decision with Trump's past comment that he would date his daughter Ivanka if she were not his daughter. Others found irony in the fact the photo had channeled Sedgwick, who stood for female empowerment, given Trump's track record of trying to defund Planned Parenthood and bragging about groping women in a tape from 2005 that leaked during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Cohen is a former Trump Organization executive who served as a cable television surrogate for the Republican during the presidential campaign. Both before and after the election, Cohen has frequently been described as Trump's "pitbull."
