Harvey Weinstein diagnosed with leukemia as retrial on sexual assault charges approaches

Harvey Weinstein, 70, has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia while facing new sexual assault charges. He is currently receiving treatment at Rikers Island prison in New York. His health issues come as he awaits retrial on previous charges. Weinstein's 23-year sentence in New York was reversed earlier this year due to trial issues. He is also serving a concurrent 16-year sentence for a separate conviction in Los Angeles. His legal team is seeking to expedite the retrial scheduled for early July. Recently, Weinstein underwent emergency heart surgery and is reportedly in pain. His health has been declining, and he is dealing with multiple serious health issues, according to his legal healthcare representative.
