Democrats are facing mounting calls from critics to return or donate to charity millions in campaign contributions from Harvey Weinstein after the New York Times’ bombshell report detailing sexual harassment allegations by numerous women against the Oscar-winning movie mogul spanning three decades.

On CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said he agrees so-called dirty money ought to be returned.

“This is a pretty bad guy who did some really awful things,” Murphy said. “And, you know, if people need for that money to be returned in order to make it clear that the entities that received them want nothing to do with him and his behavior, then it is probably a smart move.”

According to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, Weinstein and his family have given more than $1.4 million in political contributions since the 1992 election cycle — including nearly $800,000 to the Democratic National Committee.

DNC spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa told the Associated Press that the organization plans to donate more than $30,000 — Weinstein’s personal contribution to the DNC during the 2016 campaign — to three charities benefitting women.

Numerous Democratic lawmakers — including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. — say they intend to donate Weinstein’s contributions to charities supporting women. https://www.yahoo.com/news/democrats-look-distance-weinstein-181258205.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/democrats-look-distance-weinstein-181258205.html.                                                                                                                             Vegas shooter (((Paddock)))  visited Middle East, police reveal

Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock had visited the Middle East during a series of cruises, police have revealed.

Investigators remain stumped as to Paddock’s motives but said he visited the contentious region on a cruise.


He also took at least 11 other cruises to other destinations over the last several years, the AP reported.

The region, where Isis and other jihadi groups have a presence in some areas, may be of interest to security services because of speculation Paddock became radicalised.

Extremist group Isis have repeatedly claimed responsibility for the shooting, which killed 58 people and wounded hundreds more.  https://www.yahoo.com/news/stephen-paddock-las-vegas-shooter-120300216.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/stephen-paddock-las-vegas-shooter-120300216.html
