A co-founder of The Lincoln Project is being accused of sending unwanted messages to young men, pressuring them for sexual favors in exchange for jobs and career advice, according to a new report.
John Weaver, who worked for various national Republican candidates such as the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, has been accused by nearly two dozen men who said they received suggestive messages from Weaver, with one saying the messages began when he was 14 years old, The New York Times reported.
The Times reported that Weaver in one message told one of the young men he would “spoil you when we see each other.”
“Help you other times. Give advice, counsel, help with bills. You help me ... sensually,” Weaver reportedly added.
Leaders of The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican group, told the Times they were made aware of the allegations against Weaver only when they began circulating on social media and elsewhere in news reports.
