Other Democratic lawmakers are expected to follow suit in light of The New York Times report on sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein.

Weinstein has publicly and financially supported various Democratic lawmakers and causes over the years.

He held a fundraiser at his New York City home in 2016 for former presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and endowed a faculty chair at Rutgers University in feminist icon Gloria Steinem's name.

The film producer issued a statement after the report, in which he apologized for his behavior, and announced he was taking a leave of absence from his company.
