Movie producer Harvey Weinstein asked a U.S. bankruptcy judge on Friday to order his company, which filed for chapter 11 protection in March, to turn over personal emails that he says are relevant to ongoing civil and criminal investigations against him, Reuters reported. Harvey Weinstein, who co-founded the Weinstein Company with his brother Bob, has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than 70 women. He has denied having non-consensual sex with anyone. In a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers said the bankrupt company has refused to provide him access to e-mails and personal files that they said would exonerate him. Harvey Weinstein, once one of Hollywood’s most influential film producers, was ousted as co-chairman of the Weinstein Company in October 2017 when accusations against him became public.
