John Weaver alleged of sexual harassment at work place
The Lincoln Project designed to defeat Donald Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box in 2020 is rooted in vicious allegations by some leaders of an organization of sexual harassment against co-founder John Weaver as early as March.
On Monday evening Lincoln Project announced it had hired Paul Hastings to conduct a comprehensive review of our operations and culture and reviewed their workplace environment. Weaver has been accused of sexually harassing more than a dozen men, including some connected to the Lincoln Project.
In a statement by The 19th co-founder, Reed Galen told “We are committed to creating a positive, diverse, and inclusive workplace environment at The Lincoln Project and inappropriate behavior by anyone associated with the organization will not be tolerated under any circumstances. We have already taken decisive action to address internal concerns.”
The Lincoln Project was launched in late 2019 by a group of high-profile Republicans with the mission to defeat Donald Trump. It went on to raise nearly $90 million for the effort, more than half of which flowed to firms controlled by its various founders.
Horn, the only woman among the co-founders, left earlier this month after learning from the media the full extent of the allegations facing Weaver. She had likewise called on the Lincoln Project to release its workers from their nondisclosure agreements.
