George Conway: Lincoln Project must give 'full explanation of what happened'

One of the founding members of the Lincoln Project said in a new interview that the anti-Trump political group needs to provide a full public accounting of what its leaders knew about the sexual misconduct of one of its top officials as well as questions about the organization’s finances.

So far, Lincoln Project officials’ responses about what and when they knew about the allegations of sexual harassment by consultant and founding member John Weaver have “been a little bit squishy,” veteran lawyer George Conway said in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery.”

Expressing dismay that the hard work of the group’s employees trying to defeat then-President Donald Trump in the last election has been “blemished” and “undermined” by the scandal engulfing the Lincoln Project, Conway said: “I think all these people are owed — and I think all the people who gave money to the Lincoln Project are owed — a full explanation of what happened. So we know what happened with Weaver, and if there are issues with where the money went, that too.”

Conway resigned from the Lincoln Project last summer because he wanted to devote more time to family matters as his wife, Kellyanne, was stepping down from her White House job as a top adviser to Trump. He said he was unaware of any of the allegations about Weaver at the time.

Maybe a group of people can reform something new. But this was always an organization working on the edge an one knew they'd ultimately step way over the line somehow. I was always wary of this group and they need to just go away quietly, if for no other reason that to allow a successor to take over.
