<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nThe investigator explained that he received an email from Weinstein with an attachment that was referred to as the \u201cred flag list,\u201d which was a document with names and information about those people. Weinstein typed in the email to the investigator, \u201cThe red flags are the first to call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the many names on the list and highlighted in red was actress Annabella Sciorra who testified Thursday that Weinstein raped her. (Weinstein\u2019s defense team says Sciorra\u2019s story is not true, and Weinstein has always maintained that all of his sexual relationships were consensual.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked by Illuzzi if Weinstein asked him to investigate certain people, The investigator responded, \u201cYes.\u201d Asked if the subject matter of the investigation was Weinstein\u2019s sexual conduct toward women, the investigator replied, \u201cGenerally, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The investigator explained that Weinstein believed journalists were working on stories that \u201cdiscussed his sexual conduct in a negative way,\u201d which was the cause of Weinstein\u2019s concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of Weinstein\u2019s attorneys, Arthur Aidala, said Weinstein had approached the investigator to investigate because he believed people on the list were going to extort him. When Aidala questioned the investigator, he said he had a clear recollection of Weinstein saying he was being extorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe said he was worried someone would be extorting him,\u201d the investigator said on the stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWas it Annabella?\u201d Illuzzi asked. \u201cNo,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid he say who it was?\u201d Illuzzi followed up. \u201cHe did,\u201d the investigator replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho?\u201d Illuzzi asked. The investigator responded, \u201cA woman named Rose McGowan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrapping up the conversation, Illuzzi\u2019s final question was, \u201cWhen you spoke to Mr. Weinstein himself, was his concern that people were talking to journalists about his sexual conduct against women?\u201d The investigator replied, \u201cYes, among other things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why would this investigator give such a revealing leading answers such as this one, amongst all the other responses, to the prosecutor? Was he looking to sensationalize his replies for media attention later on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
