John Weaver

John Weaver, a longtime Republican strategist and co-founder of the prominent anti-Trump group the Lincoln Project, has for years sent unsolicited and sexually provocative messages online to young men, often while suggesting he could help them get work in politics, according to interviews with 21 men who received them. Lincoln Project leaders, in their first extended comments about Mr. Weaver, said they had not been aware of such allegations until January 2021. Weaver helped run John McCain’s presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2008 and John Kasich’s in 2016.
