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.

Hope so, Lizzy. But, Session’s is looking for something to do, since he fully intends to ignore the avalanche of cases TRUMP hired him to open.
Sessions behaves like a beached whale toward ever addressing sedition.
We’ll see what he can screw up for us on the addict Weinstein. He might want to produce something politically meaningful at some point before the Trump re-election team recommends to Sessions.. “YOU’RE FIRED”.
Maybe. He is a big time donor and bundler. How much money did he donate to the Clinton Foundtion? Was he part of the Epstein pedofile island trips with Clinton?
As this case amply demonstrates.....
.......it’s never been about what Sessions ought to do......
...it’s always about what Trump wants to do......
Where is the California Attorney General? Out freeing illegals?
Usually, if the Feds want to “get” somebody, they can find something to connect with RICO law.
Anyhow, what are the chances the fat ol’ perv never coerced a chick to accompany him to Vegas or similar — to another state? Any mail sent that was in any way connected to what he did? It’s FBI territory at that point.
Sadly, probably a lot of this stuff is long past statute of limitations.
Weinstein ‘victims’ became rich and powerful, it is the hollyweird culture. Clintons victims were turned into pariahs, they were destroyed privately and professionally, as well as having to fear for their lives.
If he crossed state lines to commit a crime, or wired money across state lines to cover up a crime, such as Eliot Spitzer, then probably.
“...or why Harvey is hiding out in Europe.”
He’s in Europe now. Where’s his next stop? He’s probably having his lawyers research countries with no extradition to the USA.
“2. Bribery if any federal official was given anything of value, including campaign contributions, to cover up his actions”
He hired Malia Obama as an intern. I wonder what the circumstances are surrounding THAT?
My goodness...
Maybe we really are cleaning up America :-)
Almost. Check this out: http://ew.com/article/2015/05/06/amy-berg-an-open-secret-trailer/
THIS is where we are headed
Harvey might be bunking with Roman Polanski.
“Where is the California Attorney General?”
Maybe holed-up with his own attorneys? Xavier Becerra is now in VERY deep with the Wasserman-Shultz, Awan issue. That just came out today, I think.
Amazing how fast the DOJ can move on someone they WANT to go after.
What a bunch of losers in D.C.
Just another possibility is to use one of the Democrat’s favorite ploys. The good old “violation of civil rights” is possible since women are a protected group. This could turn out to be a dream case for an ambitious prosecutor.
She also said the same thing about the cops that arrested her. Would she really hang around her father if she was raped by him?

I thought FBI investigations are hush hush, super secret...you know like the Hillary one.
Beautiful......
Bannon knows the exact co-ordinates of ALL the chinks in the Left’s armor: they will be wishing soon that he was still shackled by WH protocol.
“Mounting allegations”, indeed.
