Trump says Weinstein conviction ‘sends very strong message’

Harvey Weinstein’s conviction of rape and sexual assault was a “great victory” for women and sends a “very strong message,” US President Donald Trump says.

“I think that from the standpoint of women, I think it was a great thing,” Trump says at a news conference in India, a day after Weinstein was convicted.

“It was a great victory. And sends a very strong message, very, very strong message.”

The conviction of the once-powerful Hollywood producer has been hailed as a historic victory by the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct.
