The source would not provide further details Wednesday.
When contacted by CNN, Brafman said he had no comment.
Weinstein is accused of raping a woman in a New York hotel room in 2013 and forcibly performing oral sex on another woman at his Manhattan apartment in 2006.
He faces five felony charges: two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree and one count each of first-degree rape and third-degree rape. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty.
The case hasn't been completely smooth for either side. In October, one of Weinstein's six felony charges was dismissed after an NYPD officer was found to have mishandled evidence.
Weinstein's petition to dismiss the remaining charges was declined in December.
This is a developing story.
