The Lincoln Project announced that it is parting ways with Jennifer Horn, a co-founder of the anti-Trump GOP group.

The group said Horn requested “an immediate ‘signing bonus’ payment of $250,000 and a $40,000 per month consulting contract.” That came after she asked in December for “a board seat on the Lincoln Project, a television show, a podcast hosting assignment, and a staff to manage these endeavors [to] establish immediate and long-term financial security.”

“These demands were unanimously rejected by the management committee and board,” the Lincoln Project said in a statement. “We immediately accepted Jennifer Horn’s resignation from the Lincoln Project.”

The departure comes at a rocky time for the group, which also recently split with co-founder John Weaver following allegations he sent unwanted messages to young men, some of which were sexual in nature.

“John Weaver led a secret life that was built on a foundation of deception at every level. He is a predator, a liar, and an abuser,” the Lincoln Project said in a statement when the allegations were made public. “We extend our deepest sympathies to those who were targeted by his deplorable and predatory behavior. We are disgusted and outraged that someone in a position of power and trust would use it for these means.”
