NEW: We filed two lawsuits today to shed light on the influence that two casino magnates and major Trump donors — Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn — have had on the administration: americanoversight.org/lawsuits-seek-…
We submitted FOIA requests to multiple agencies for communications with and about Adelson and Wynn, as well as for records related to meetings Adelson had with Rex Tillerson and Steven Mnuchin: americanoversight.org/lawsuits-seek-…
We uncovered emails showing that in 2017 the White House had asked to meet with a DOJ official who was working on litigation involving Wynn. A few months after the meeting request, the administration reversed a tip-pooling rule that Wynn had been fighting. thedailybeast.com/white-house-in…

This is not the first time we've sued for records related to Adelson’s influence in the administration. We're also suing the Justice Department to learn whether Adelson played a role in the sudden reversal of a 2011 legal opinion on online gambling: americanoversight.org/lawsuit-seeks-…
