The FBI has opened an investigation into Harvey Weinstein, DailyMail.com has exclusively learned.
DailyMail.com understands the move came at the behest of the Department of Justice, run by Donald Trump's Attorney General Jeff Sessions, which instructed the bureau to investigate the mounting allegations leveled at the movie mogul.
While it is unknown whether the DOJ order came directly from Sessions, the move is likely to be seen in a political light given Weinstein's friendship with Trump foe Hillary Clinton.
The move by the DOJ came amid rumors that Weinstein plans to head to Europe for sex rehab – leading to fears of a Roman Polanski-style situation where he dodges prosecution in the U.S.
The FBI can both look at whether he has committed any federal crimes in the U.S. and prepare extradition proceedings if he remains in Europe.
Among the allegations against Weinstein, which the FBI is expected to examine, is that he forced Lucia Evans, a student who wanted to be an actress, to perform oral sex on him in New York in 2004.
New York State has no statue of limitations on rape and criminal sexual acts - its legal term for forced oral or anal intercourse.

Manifest on planes
Lost his job, his wife and now targeted by the feds all in less than a week.
Almost feel sorry for him...NAH!
Did he ever fly on the Lolita Express?
I bet slick willie flew with him hand-in-hand to “lolita island” many times.
Looks to me like shameless grandstanding to entertain barking seals. What’s the federal crime?
Where’s the protest of federal overreach? FBI got nothing else to do? Maybe Wray should put up an online suggestion box.
Hillary: Bill, how long do you think I’ll be behind bars?
Bill: What difference does it make?

Can’t lay a glove on that criminal hag Kankles, but BOOM! DOJ is all over Harvey the loathsome pig within 48 hours.
I detect a broadening counter attack in the culture war.
If it’s honest, an investigation of Harvey will lead to Traitorhillary and lots of other Demonicrat politicians and organizations.
The buzz of shredders will be sounding off in DC and in Hollywood.
I almost want to feel sorry for him, but I can’t stop laughing.
Naaaah, when I think of what he’s done to so many people, and what a smug arrogant sanctimonious a-hole he is, I will never feel any sympathy for him.
It could be that Kankles is the big prize. Thus, chip away at her rich supporters gathering all sorts of info, and once incontrovertible, lower the boom on HER!
If they used corporate money for pay offs, might be IRS. Rimes
Holy Smoke....I can think of a slew of problems the DOJ, FBI and AG need to investigate and it sure isn’t this creep...Let the state where he resides and works have the privilege.. If I were him, I’d be more than a little perturbed that his buddy Bill got off without more than a slap on the wrist. A perjury charge, impeachment hearing, loss of law license didn’t slow that creep down..he’s still alive and kicking!
Please keep President Trump in your prayers!
He’s going after the foot-soldiers of the enemy and it’s going to get ugly.
This is wonderful news!
Still waiting for Sessions to investigate Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and the murder of Seth Rich..heck I want an investigation into the Las Vegas Massacre..the LVPD is lying to us Sessions needs to find out the TRUTH
“”It could be that Kankles is the big prize. Thus, chip away at her rich supporters gathering all sorts of info, and once incontrovertible, lower the boom on HER!””
Wake up - you’re dreaming....We aren’t going to be so lucky!
I think people may be surprised at where this may go
Harvey is the gateway perv to the dark side of Hollywood
BTW, Harvey was Obama’s rent boy go to guy when the Preeezy visited La La Land
Bill will no doubt work tirelessly for her release; visiting his various girlfriends. Is the Energizer Bunny still in play?
WINNING!
