Casino mogul and Republican megadonor Stephen Wynn asked a federal court to toss out a civil suit the Justice Department brought against him seeking an order that he register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Wynn -- addressing the DOJ allegations that he was acting as a foreign agent for the People's Republic of China and a former PRC official with messages he conveyed to then-President Donald Trump and the Trump administration -- said that he was acting"in the interests of the United States by bringing this opportunity to President Trump, not as an agent of the Chinese official or government.
On Monday, Wynn argued that under DC Circuit precedent, any obligation he had to register -- even if the allegations were true -- ended by October 2017, which is when DOJ alleges that Wynn's relationship with the Chinese government ended.
