Defrocked US cardinal gave money to top clerics: report

A US cardinal gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to powerful Catholic clerics including two popes while facing accusations of sexual harassment, The Washington Post reported on Friday. Pope Francis defrocked Theodore McCarrick in February over accusations he abused a teenager 50 years earlier. The cardinal had already been known for having sex with adult seminarians, and Francis was accused of ignoring sexual assault accusations against McCarrick for years.
