Casino mogul Steve Wynn stepped down as finance chairman of the Republican National Committee on Saturday, amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

“Today I accepted Steve Wynn’s resignation as Republican National Committee Finance Chair,” RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel said in a statement.

Wynn’s resignation comes in the wake of a Wall Street Journal report that included interviews with dozens of people who have worked at his casinos or had been informed of his alleged misconduct, including allegations that he pressured some employees to perform sex acts.

Wynn has denied the allegations.

An RNC spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on who will replace Wynn. The committee is set to hold its winter meeting in the coming days, where the subject is expected to be a topic of conversation.

In recent months, Democrats and Republicans have called on the opposing party to return financial contributions or cut ties with prominent individuals accused of sexual misconduct. When allegations against entertainment executive Harvey Weinstein surfaced last fall, McDaniel and other GOP leaders quickly called on the Democratic National Committee, its House and Senate campaign arms and individual Democratic candidates and lawmakers to return thousands of dollars in donations from him.

Republican officials were quiet in the immediate aftermath of the Journal story, which was published online Friday.

In a written statement Friday, Wynn strongly denied the allegations in the story, saying they stemmed from an ongoing divorce battle with his ex-wife.

“The idea that I ever assaulted any woman is preposterous,” Wynn said. “We find ourselves in a world where people can make allegations, regardless of the truth, and a person is left with the choice of weathering insulting publicity or engaging in multiyear lawsuits. It is deplorable for anyone to find themselves in this situation.”
