Three officials who claim to be close to the situation, say Harvey Weinstein threatened to cut off campaign donations to Democrats (in a conversation with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi), if she didn't consider a revote in the Democratic presidential primaries in Michigan and Florida.
Weinstein, who is a fervent supporter of Hillary Clinton, seems to have wanted to provide Clinton with some additional time in her battle with Barack Obama.
While Weinstein admits to talking with Pelosi, he strongly denied threatening the speaker with cutting off campaign contributions to the Democratic party.
According to Weinstein, “Never, ever was the thought about denying funding to Democrats,” rather he said, “I told her people felt there would be a disenfranchisement of voters” if a solution wasn't offered by the party.
What Weinstein says what the phone call entailed was an offer to assemble a team for the purpose of financing a revote in the two states.
