RNC finance chairman Steve Wynn resigns amid sexual misconduct accusations

Casino operator Steve Wynn steps down from his position as Republican National Committee finance chairman following a report alleging sexual misconduct.

Wynn, 76, who is close to US President Donald Trump, denies the allegations published in the Wall Street Journal on Friday.

Wynn says in a statement that he cannot continue to effectively serve in his position with the “distraction” of the accusations. He says that the accusations stem from his ex-wife, Elaine, who he said is seeking a revised divorce settlement.
