Biden Fundraiser Co-Host Dropped After Accusations

“A scion of the politically connected and wealthy Pritzker family who was slated to co-host a fundraiser for President Biden on Friday in Los Angeles was removed from invitations to the event after he was accused of unwanted sexual acts and sued for $25 million,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“Matthew Pritzker, 41, whose uncles started the Hyatt hotel chain, had been listed as a co-host on a November invite for Biden’s first fundraising appearance in Los Angeles since the end of the entertainment industry strikes. His cousin, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, is co-chair of Biden’s campaign. But Matthew Pritzker is not named on an updated invitation circulating among Hollywood donors this week.”
