Time’s Up was founded during the #MeToo movement and was supposed to be an organization supporting women who accused powerful men of sexual misconduct.

Now it appears the group’s co-founder, Roberta Kaplan, advised Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) on an op-ed Cuomo wrote in an attempt to discredit one of his accusers, Lindsey Boylan. The Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross reported that the New York Attorney General’s office discovered the op-ed, which was never published, had been sent to Kaplan and Time’s Up CEO Tina Tchen, both of whom signed off on most of the language of the piece.
