Recently disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein had in the past donated up to $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation—and the foundation is going to keep it, even after the accusations of sexual harassment and rape.

The foundation said on Sunday, Oct. 15 that the donations, ranging between $100,000 to $250,000 have already been spent on their projects, according to The Daily Mail.

The decision to keep the money was no surprise, after tweets from the foundation’s spokesman Craig Minassian, seemed to confirm it.

“Suggesting @ClintonFdn return funds from our 330,000+ donors ignores the fact that donations have been used to help people across the world,” Minassian wrote in an Oct. 14 Tweet.
