The aftermath of the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal continues with the New York Times firing the disgraced Hollywood producer’s lawyer David Boies who helped hire a private investigation firm to collect information about the women who accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct and reporters who were investigating his past. Boies, who lost the U.S. Supreme Court fight over the 2000 Bush v. Gore presidential election and later helped win legalization of gay marriage in California, hired private detectives at Weinstein’s request earlier this year who sought to identify accusers and undermine news coverage of their claims. A primary target was the New York Times, which published an article in which the Hollywood producer was accused of raping an actress.
