Harvey Weinstein's Retrial
Harvey Weinstein appears in court for a retrial on rape charges after his 2020 conviction was overturned. His appearance coincides with Donald Trump's trial in the same New York City courthouse, but they will not cross paths. Weinstein was found guilty of third-degree rape and sexual assault in his original trial, but the convictions were overturned due to unfair testimony. He is currently frail and undergoing tests at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.
