WASHINGTON (AP) — Casino mogul Steve Wynn resigned Saturday as finance chairman of the Republican National Committee amid allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

Wynn has been a prolific Republican donor and led the RNC's fundraising efforts during President Donald Trump's first year, helping the committee rake in more than $130 million.

"Today I accepted Steve Wynn's resignation as Republican National Committee finance chair," said RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that a number of women said they were harassed or assaulted by Wynn, the chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts. Wynn has denied the allegations. One case led to a $7.5 million settlement with a manicurist, the newspaper reported.

Wynn was chosen by Trump to lead the RNC's fundraising effort, and he contributed more than $600,000 to GOP causes last year, according to the Federal Election Commission.

12. As the analysts like to say, the energy and entertainment sectors are ripe

There's so much incredible money flowing through these companies and most of it is in suitcases or other untraceable instruments.

They teeter on the edge of bankruptcy/solvency while making their top brass filthy rich. I'm guessing there are some good payoffs for the shareholders in a privileged group. Not sure CALPERS et. al.

quiet about sexual misconduct and allegations. I would love to see him go down like the others at Fux Ruse.
