Judge sets Harvey Weinstein's retrial on sexual assault in NYC for Nov 12

Weinstein wore an American flag pin on his jacket on Friday during a brief court appearance in Manhattan that was delayed by more than 90 minutes due to a disruption that affected computers around the world, according to Judge Curtis Farber.
