"A New York Supreme Court judge has banned reporters and the general public from portions of Friday's pretrial hearing in the sexual assault case against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Judge James Burke on Friday morning granted requests by both defense and prosecuting attorneys to close major portions of the day's proceedings – including arguments over whether prosecutors can introduce at trial evidence of alleged wrongdoing for which Weinstein is not charged."
