Two women are accusing senior members of the College Republican national leadership of asking them to fabricate sexual assault allegations against a male member to sink his candidacy for a leadership position with the organization.
One night during the convention, before Britt had secured her victory against Smith, one of the women says Rajadurai invited her to his hotel room. Earlier in the night, she had an argument with Rajadurai during a reception party, which she says left her ‘profusely sobbing’. When the pair met in Rajadurai’s hotel room, the woman says Rajadurai apologized before stepping away to answer a phone call from Thornton on the other side of the room. During the call, the woman claims she heard Rajadurai ask Thornton, ‘Should I have [her name] or [the other woman’s name] do it?’ After the phone call ended, the woman says Rajadurai asked her if she would accuse Smith of sexual assault and visit Smith in his hotel room later that night.
Screenshots of a text conversation between Rajadurai and the woman on May 15, 2021, show Rajadurai admitting that he and Thornton had tried to ‘me too’ Smith. Rajadurai goes on to apologize to the woman for asking her to participate.QuoteBR: The part that got out.

I’m so sorry you heard it. I regret it every dayW: your best case scenario was that it actually happened. I never felt more worthless in my lifeBR: No I was a piece of shit for it. To this day I regret it. I can’t imagine how it made you feelLater in the text conversation, Rajadurai apologizes to the woman, saying ‘If I did I’m sorry.’ Rajadurai claims he didn’t remember asking her to accuse Smith of sexual assault, but says ‘I could see myself having done that’.The woman said that one of the reasons she did not come forward earlier was because Rajadurai had openly bragged about his ability to ‘ruin people’s lives’.

A second woman told The Spectator that Rajadurai asked her to accuse Smith of sexual assault at the same convention. She claims he made this offer on behalf of Smith’s opponent, Courtney Britt, and her backer Chandler Thornton.While leaving the bathroom outside the convention floor, the second woman says she ran into Rajadurai in the hotel hallway. She says Rajadurai first pitched the proposal to her as a ‘joke’ with a group of people present.The woman says Rajadurai told her to invite Smith to party with her that night so she could get him inebriated. Supposedly, the plan was for the woman to accuse him of sexual assault the following day.

State prosecutors shed new light Tuesday on CNN anchor Chris Cuomo's involvement in managing the response to the sexual harassment scandal surrounding his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.Chris Cuomo was in the governor's inner circle as they developed talking points and strategies in late February as accusations threatened the three-term governor, according to emails and text messages made public by investigators for New York Attorney General Letitia James.
It also appeared that Chris Cuomo played a role in writing the overall response Gov. Cuomo issued on Feb. 28 as the sexual harassment allegations reached an apex.In an email at 3:20 p.m. ET on Feb. 28, Vlasto replied to an email from Chris Cuomo that included language that would largely make up a statement issued later by the governor."Questions have been raised about some of my personal interactions with people in my office," the statement attributed to Chris Cuomo's email said. "I spend most of my life at work and colleagues are often also personal friends. I never intended to offend anyone or cause any harm."The email continued that "sometimes I am playful and make jokes," adding: "You have seen me do it at briefings hundreds of times. My only desire is to add some levity and banter to what is very serious business."Later that day, Andrew Cuomo posted a statement addressing the allegations on the governor's official website.The statement, time-stamped 5:45 p.m. ET, mirrored, nearly word for word, the email attributed to Chris Cuomo.
A CNN spokeswoman declined to comment on James' report Tuesday and repeated earlier network statements saying Chris Cuomo did not affect coverage of his brother.

Former President Barack Obama was forced this week to aggressively trim the guestlist for his 60th birthday bash in light of surging cases of the Delta coronavirus variant. And The New York Times has a glimpse into who got tossed from the original list of 475 people initially invited to party at Obama’s $12 million Martha’s Vineyard mansion. Jay-Z and Beyonce are, naturally, still slated to come. But Curb Your Enthusiasm comedian Larry David, the king of awkward encounters, was awkwardly uninvited. Talk show hosts David Letterman and Conan O’Brien were also dumped, as were most of Obama’s old administration aides, including high-profile advisor David Axelrod.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hit back at President Biden Friday after the commander-in-chief snarked “Governor who?” when asked about the Republican’s mask and vaccine policies a day earlier.“I guess I’m not surprised that Biden doesn’t remember me. I guess the question is ‘What else has he forgotten?'” DeSantis said at an event at Chipola College in Marianna, in the Florida Panhandle.“Biden’s forgotten about the crisis at our southern border, I can tell you that,” the governor continued. “Biden has forgotten about the inflation that’s biting the budgets of families all throughout our country. Biden has forgotten about the demonstrators who are fighting for freedom down in Cuba. Biden’s even forgotten about the constitution itself, as we saw with what he did with this moratorium....“This is a guy who ran for president saying he was gonna ‘shut down the virus’. And what has he done?” DeSantis asked during remarks in Panama City. “He’s imported more virus from around the world by having a wide-open southern border”...“So why don’t you do your job? Why don’t you get this border secure, and until you do that, I don’t want to hear a blip about COVID from you,” the governor concluded.

Former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party have refunded nearly $13 million to donors in the first half of the year, after deploying fundraising tactics in the 2020 election that duped donors into giving more money than they intended or believed they were, The New York Times reported.What's more, the Times reported Saturday that more than $135 million has been refunded to donors by Trump's reelection campaign, the Republican National Committee and their shared accounts in the 2020 cycle through June 2021.A Times investigation earlier this year found that Trump's political operation last year automatically enrolled their online donors into recurring donations every week until Election Day.Donors would have to manually uncheck a box on digital donation forms if they wished to opt out of the weekly donation, the Times reported. A second pre-selected box withdrew another donation. The Trump campaign made the disclaimer "increasingly opaque" by including it amongst bold and capitalized text, according to the newspaper.The tactic led to demands for refunds from supporters and a slew of credit card fraud complaints, the Times reported.
