Anita Dunn is a managing director of SKDKnickerbocker, senior advisor to the Biden Administration, and former senior advisor and White House Communications Director for the Obama Administration. She has worked with multiple clients including pro-abortion groups such as Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and Emily’s List, and was an informal consultant to Harvey Weinstein. [1][2] Dunn has personally donated substantial amounts of money to Democratic Party candidates, campaigns, and political action committees including EMILY’s List, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Hillary Clinton. [3]
Dunn was part of a group of lawyers and public relations professionals who consulted for Harvey Weinstein, an avid donor of organizations and candidates linked to the Democratic Party who since 2017 was sentenced to 23 years in prison in 2020 after being found guilty of rape and sexual assault. [17]
Dunn allegedly provided Weinstein with a “damage control” strategy after the New York Times published an investigation into the accusations against him in 2017. SKDKnickerbocker released a statement claiming that Dunn was “asked to speak with [Weinstein] by a friend” and claiming that Weinstein was not an official client. [18]
