Shares of Wynn Resorts continued its slide on Monday morning. On Saturday, CEO Steve Wynn stepped down from his role as the Republican National Committee’s finance chairman in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct.
The casino giant’s stock fell 6.58% at $ 168.42 per share in pre-market trading.
Multiple women have accused the billionaire casino mogul of pressuring them into sex and creating a sexualized workplace, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. Wynn has denied the allegations and called them “preposterous.”
Wynn has been a prolific donor to Republican candidates and groups, and joined the RNC as its finance chairman after President Donald Trump’s election. He has donated mostly to Republicans, such as Sen. Dean Heller, Sen. John McCain, and former Rep. Joe Heck, though he has made a few smaller donations to Democrats, such as former Vice President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
Some lawmakers have considered returning their donations from Wynn amid the allegations.
Wynn’s stock was still up 1.72% year-to-date.
