HBO drops planned Game Change miniseries on the 2016 election because of its connection to Mark Halperin

Variety

Halperin, who co-wrote the original Game Change book on the 2008 election (which was turned into a 2012 HBO movie), was working with HBO on a miniseries based on last year's Trump-dominated election cycle. But not anymore, following the sexual harassment allegations against Halperin that surfaced last night. “HBO is no longer proceeding with the project tied to the untitled book co-authored by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann on the 2016 Presidential election,”  HBO said in a statement. “HBO has no tolerance for sexual harassment within the company or its productions.”
