The Lincoln Project has pledged to appoint an outside investigator to probe claims that they knew about sexual misconduct allegations against co-founder John Weaver before he left the organization.
Weaver, 61, parted ways with the anti-Trump super-PAC last month following a report in The New York Times that he offered young men professional support in exchange for sex.
But on Thursday, the Associated Press reported that members of the organization’s leadership were informed in writing and in subsequent phone calls of at least 10 specific allegations of sexual harassment against Weaver as early as last June.
