Doug Heye, a former spokesman for the Republican National Committee (RNC), is calling for Casino mogul Steve Wynn to be ousted as the RNC's finance chairman after sexual misconduct allegations surfaced against him Friday.

In a tweet, Heye said the allegations against Wynn, the CEO of Wynn Resorts, appeared to be "a lot worse" than past scandals that roiled the RNC and led to a number of ousters.

Pennsylvania GOP Rep. Pat Meehan will not seek reelection this year, after revelations that he used taxpayer funds to settle a sexual harassment case involving a former staffer.

Meehan’s decision came days after the New York Times reported that the former aide had accused him of making unwanted romantic advances and that he settled the case with the staffer by paying her out of a member’s allowance fund.

During media interviews this week, the congressman denied that he sexually harassed the woman and vowed to run for reelection. He said the woman invited his communications and called her his “soul mate.”
