Trump "not at all surprised" by Harvey Weinstein harassment allegations

President Trump on Saturday said he's "not at all surprised" by the allegations of sexual harassment multiple women have levied against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

"I've known Harvey Weinstein for a long time," Trump told reporters before boarding Marine One for a GOP fundraiser in North Carolina. "I'm not at all surprised to see it."

The Weinstein allegations turned political this week when a handful of Democrats in Congress who had received donations from Weinstein said they would donate the money to charity.

Weinstein also invoked Trump in his apology letter. "I'm making a movie about our president, perhaps we can make it a joint retirement party," Weinstein wrote.

The allegations against Weinstein go back decades, and eight women have settled claims with him. In an explosive New York Times piece, actress Ashley Judd accused him of inviting her up to his room when he was only in a robe, and asking her to watch him shower or let him give her a massage.
