The campaign arm for House Democrats is donating more than $23,000 it’s received from Harvey Weinstein over more than two decades in response to allegations of rape and sexual assault against the Hollywood mogul.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee confirmed it has received $23,225 from Weinstein in four separate donations since 1993. The group said all of the money will be donated.
“The DCCC has already cut the check to donate all old Harvey Weinstein money to Futures Without Violence,” DCCC spokeswoman Meredith Kelly said in a statement Tuesday night.
The decision came on the same day that fresh reporting from the New Yorker revealed accusations that Weinstein raped three women he had worked with during his long tenure as one of Hollywood’s most powerful figures. That report was followed by a second article in the New York Times that included accounts from actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie about Weinstein’s harassment of them early in their careers.
