Harvey Weinstein's retrial for rape and sexual assault charges is set to begin on November 12. The former movie mogul appeared in court wearing an American flag pin, with the hearing addressing evidence and his medical conditions in jail.

Weinstein's attorneys expressed a preference for an earlier trial date. Diana Fabi Samson, one of Weinstein's lawyers, stated that he is anxious to prove his innocence. The defense also raised concerns about his health, requesting a transfer to Bellevue Hospital for proper care.

The retrial follows the overturning of Weinstein's 2020 conviction by the state's highest court. He remains imprisoned due to a 16-year sentence in California. Prosecutors continue pursuing new claims, while Weinstein denies the allegations.
