Wynn sued by DOJ for not registering as agent of China

On multiple occasions, Wynn, a Republican donor who has been embroiled in scandal in recent years, conveyed to then-President Donald Trump the Chinese government’s request that the U.S. remove a Chinese businessperson who was seeking asylum in America, according to the complaint filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday. The Department claimed that Wynn was acting to protect business interests in Macau, a special administrative region of China.

Wynn became involved in the scheme after Sun asked former Republican National Committee finance chair Elliott Broidy and others to lobby the administration on the matter around May 2017, the Justice Department claims. Broidy then enlisted Wynn as well, according to the complaint.

During a telephone call from a yacht between Wynn, Broidy and Trump, Wynn inquired about the request, and Trump said he would look into it, the complaint said.
