"Despite the early warning, the group took no action against Weaver and pressed forward with its high-profile work."
"multiple people familiar with the situation say that Steslow immediately raised the email with Galen, who helped manage day-to-day operations at the time, and the Lincoln Project’s corporate counsel Matthew Sanderson."
"Matthew Sanderson. Steslow also encouraged his colleagues to remove Weaver from the organization.
Those allegations and others were discussed on subsequent phone calls with organization leaders in June and August"

In summary, John Weaver was preying on young men. The Lincoln Project knew in the summer of 2020 and did not do anything. They then lied to the public about their knowledge.
.@reedgalen knew about the detailed allegations against Weaver in June 2020. He did nothing.
