Former U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said the jury verdict ‘speaks for itself,’ reacting to the sexual assault conviction of Harvey Weinstein and pushed back on concerns over Weinstein’s past donations to her party
BERLIN - Harvey Weinstein’s conviction for sexual assault and rape should put an end to such behaviour, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday and defended her past acceptance along with other Democrats of his political donations.
“I’m going to wait and see who we nominate,” she said. “I will support the nominee. And it won’t surprise you to hear me say that I think that it’s imperative that we retire the incumbent.” The U.S. election takes place on Nov. 3. “He contributed to every Democrat’s campaign. He contributed to Barack Obama’s campaign and John Kerry’s campaign and Al Gore’s campaign and everybody’s campaign,” she said.
Weinstein, who had such hit films as “The English Patient” and “Shakespeare in Love”, was found guilty of sexual assault and rape in New York on Monday.
