Film producer ousted from his company

NEW YORK — Film producer Harvey Weinstein has been fired from The Weinstein Co., following new information revealed regarding his conduct, the company's board of directors announced Sunday.

Weinstein had previously voluntarily taken a leave of absence following decades of sexual harassment allegations detailed Thursday in a New York Times expose. The board on Friday endorsed that decision. But it went further Sunday, removing Weinstein from the company he co-founded.

In a statement, the board cited “new information” about Weinstein’s conduct that has emerged in the past few days. An attorney for Weinstein didn’t immediately comment Sunday.

A spokesperson for The Weinstein Co. declined to provide details on Weinstein’s firing.

Trump earlier had laid bare his perceived grievances against retiring Sen. Bob Corker, RTenn., in a series of stinging tweets that contended Corker:

⏩ Was “largely responsible for the horrendous” Iran nuclear deal, which the Democratic Obama administration negotiated and Corker considered badly flawed. The senator also tried to require that President Barack Obama submit the accord to Congress for approval.

⏩ Intended to obstruct the White House agenda, though he offered no evidence for saying he expected Corker “to be a negative voice.”

No storm-related deaths or injuries were immediately reported.
