Harvey Weinstein's attempt to have his criminal charges dismissed was rejected by a New York judge. His defense, led by Ben Brafman, argued that the indictment was flawed and influenced by political pressure, citing a lack of exculpatory evidence. The court, however, found no basis for these claims and denied the dismissal.

The next hearing is scheduled for March 7th, with the defense preparing to challenge the charges at trial.
