"the president’s top political advisers — Anita Dunn..."
___
"Anita Dunn, co-founder of the communications firm SKDK and widely considered a member of the president's inner circle, provided "crisis communications"
assistance to Michael Madigan, the then-Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, from 2018 to 2019.
That work netted Dunn and her firm more than $200,000, according to campaign finance disclosures."
___
"2017, Dunn provided unpaid public relations advice to
Harvey Weinstein
just before the New York Times and the New Yorker published investigations into pervasive allegations of sexual misconduct and assault by Weinstein,
BuzzFeed News reported. At the time, SKDK released a statement saying that Dunn had spoken to Weinstein at the request of an unnamed friend and
SKDK had no relationship with Weinstein"
NPR asked SKDK specifically about what Dunn told Weinstein. The firm did not respond.
Weinstein is currently serving a prison sentence in New York following convictions in both New York and California for rape and sexual assault.
In 2019, Dunn also faced criticism for giving an interview to the journalist Mark Halperin for a planned book titled How to Beat Trump.
Two years prior, Halperin had faced multiple accusations of workplace sexual harassment. "
