Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom Testifies Harvey Weinstein Raped Her in 2005

HeadlineNov 16, 2022

In Los Angeles, Jennifer Siebel Newsom took the stand Monday and Tuesday in Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial. Siebel Newson, who is a documentary filmmaker and the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, says Weinstein raped her in a hotel room in 2005 where he had lured her under the guise of a business meeting. Siebel Newsom is the fourth survivor to testify at Weinstein’s Los Angeles trial. He was already convicted of rape and criminal sexual assault in New York in 2020, though he is appealing that case.
