Case Against Harvey Weinstein Collapses; Charges Dropped

Harvey Weinstein, one of Hillary Clinton's largest donors, got thrown under the bus by the failed presidential candidate once he was accused of rape. Now the case against him is unraveling.
Prosecutors this morning dropped 1/3 of the charges against Weinstein after new information emerged about one of his three accusers. While Lucia Evans previously testified she had never, prior to 2017, told anyone about her alleged 2004 rape by Weinstein, new information has emerged which disproves that. According to it, (a) prosecutors recovered a 2015 email from Evans to her husband in which she confessed to the encounter and said it was consensual, (b) a friend of Evans' has testified that Evans bragged to her about the encounter in 2004, saying at the time it was consensual.

Defense attorneys say they have further information that will lead to the dismissal of charges related to the remaining two accusers.
