   NEW DELHI – President Donald Trump said Tuesday he was "never a   
   fan" of Harvey Weinstein and told reporters that Democrats   
   should return campaign money they collected from him.   
      
   "I was never a fan of Harvey Weinstein," Trump told reporters in   
   India, where he is on a 36-hour trip. "I was just not a fan of   
   his. I knew him a little bit. The people that liked him were the   
   Democrats. Michelle Obama loved him. Hillary Clinton loved him."   
      
   A jury in New York found Weinstein guilty on Monday of a first-   
   degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape but acquitted   
   him on the two most serious charges of predatory sexual assault   
   and one charge of first-degree rape.   
      
   The split verdict followed a weeks-long trial featuring graphic   
   testimony from six of the movie mogul’s tearful accusers.   
      
   Weinstein will be sentenced on March 11. He faces a prison   
   sentence of at least five years and possibly as long as 25   
   years. The acquittal on the most serious charges spared him the   
   possibility of life in prison.   
      
   The New York trial is considered historic because it's the first   
   major celebrity sex-crime trial of the #MeToo era. It culminated   
   more than two years of world-wide condemnation of Weinstein and   
   scores of other powerful men in multiple industries for an array   
   of alleged crimes and misconduct.   
      
   Trump himself has faced allegations of sexual misconduct. At   
   least 20 women have accused him of sexual misconduct or   
   inappropriate behavior dating as far back as the 1970s. He has   
   never been charged with a crime involving any of those   
   allegations.
