The U.S. Justice Department will appeal the acquittal of a lawsuit against casino tycoon Steve Wynn, charged of acting as a Chinese agent.
Wynn defeated the lawsuit in October when a federal judge in Washington, D.C., said the casino tycoon could not be ordered to register with the Justice Department as a foreign agent of China.
“…. the Attorney General of the United States of America at this moment appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia from the judgment of this Court entered on the 12th day of October 2022, granting Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss,” the Justice Department said in a filing on Friday.
The Justice Department in May sued for a court order forcing Wynn, the former CEO of Wynn Casinos, to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
Officials alleged that Wynn had lobbied then-U.S. President Donald Trump on China’s behalf in 2017. Wynn’s attorneys denied that he was ever an agent of the Chinese government.
