Given the very specific verbiage being used, I've a feeling it's about to get ultra-dasting. ๐ช๐ช๐ช๐
The government sued Wynn in May to compel him to register as a Chinese agent. Wynn has argued he wasnโt lobbying when he told the Trump administration that China wanted the US to extradite Guo Wengui, an exile who criticized the Chinese government. The governmentโs civil case marks the first Foreign Agents Registration Act lawsuit by the Justice Department in more than 30 years.
In its lawsuit, the government claimed that Wynn was acting to protect his casinos in Macau when he told former President Donald Trump about Chinaโs position on Guo, as well as White House and National Security Council officials.
Wynnโs lawyers argued that he passed along the message from Sun Lijun, then-Vice Minister of Chinaโs Ministry of Public Security, as a diplomatic offer and that he was โfully transparent in his dealings with the Trump Administration.โ The Trump Administration rejected the offer.
