The U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil enforcement action against hotel and casino executive Steve Wynn that would force him to register as a foreign agent working on behalf of the Chinese government.
What Happened: Wynn, the former CEO of Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN), was accused by the DOJ of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) during the summer of 2017 when he allegedly contacted then-President Donald Trump and members of the White House and National Security Council regarding a Chinese business executive who sought asylum in the U.S.
