The embattled film studio Weinstein Co. is being investigated by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman over possible civil rights violations following claims that ousted co-founder Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted and harassed women for decades.
Schneiderman’s Civil Rights Bureau subpoenaed the New York-based company on Monday as part of a probe into whether studio officials violated New York civil rights law in their handling of the abuse claims, which were kept from the public for years, according to a person familiar with the matter.
