Wynn Lobbied the Then-President and Former Administration Officials at the Request of the People's Republic of China\n\nThe Department of Justice today filed a civil enforcement action in the U.S. District of Columbia, seeking to compel Stephen A. Wynn, a U.S. businessperson and hotelier who previously served as the CEO of Wynn Resorts, to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) as the agent of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and a senior official of the PRC's Ministry of Public Security (MPS). Wynn was advised to register as an agent by the department but declined to do so.\n\n\"The filing of this suit - the first affirmative civil lawsuit under FARA in more than three decades - demonstrates the department's commitment to ensuring transparency in our democratic system,\" said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department's National Security Division. \"Where a foreign government uses an American as its agent to influence policy decisions in the United States, FARA gives the American people a right to know.\"\n\nAccording to the complaint, from at least June 2017, Wynn contacted the then-President and members of his administration to convey the PRC's request to cancel the visa or otherwise remove from the United States a Chinese businessperson who left China in 2014, was later charged with corruption by the PRC and sought political asylum in the United States. Wynn engaged in these efforts at the request of Sun Lijun, then-Vice Minister of the MPS. Wynn conveyed the request directly to the then-President over dinner and he had multiple discussions with the then-President and senior officials at the White House and National Security Council about organizing a meeting with Sun and other PRC government officials.\n\nDuring the time that he engaged in this conduct, Wynn's company owned and operated casinos in Macau, a special administrative region in the PRC. The department alleges that Wynn acted at the PRC out of a desire to protect his business interests in Macau.\n\nThis enforcement action is being handled by the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section of the National Security Division. Trial Attorney Nathan Swinton is litigating the case.\n\nAttachment(s): Download USA v.

Wynn（史蒂芬·A·永利）应中华人民共和国的要求游说时任总统及前政府官员\n\n美国司法部今日在 U.S. District of Columbia（哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院）提起一项民事强制执行诉讼，寻求强令前 Wynn Resorts（永利度假村）首席执行官、美国商人兼酒店业大亨史蒂芬·A·永利根据 Foreign Agents Registration Act（《外国代理人登记法》，简称 FARA），作为 People's Republic of China（中华人民共和国，简称 PRC）及中华人民共和国 Ministry of Public Security（公安部，简称 MPS）一名高级官员的代理人进行登记。司法部曾建议永利登记为代理人，但他拒绝照办。\n\n司法部 National Security Division（国家安全司）助理总检察长 Matthew G. Olsen（马修·G·奥尔森）表示：“提起这项诉讼——三十多年来根据 FARA 提起的首起主动发起的民事诉讼——表明了司法部致力于确保我们民主体制透明度的决心。当外国政府利用美国人作为其代理人来影响美国的政策决策时，FARA 赋予了美国人民知情权。”\n\n根据起诉书，自至少2017年6月起，永利联系了时任总统及其政府成员，以转达中华人民共和国的一项请求：要求取消一名中国商人的签证或以其他方式将其从美国驱逐出境。该商人于2014年离开中国，随后被中国指控涉嫌腐败，并在美国寻求政治庇护。永利是在时任中国公安部副部长 Sun Lijun（孙力军）的要求下开展这些游说活动的。永利在一次晚宴上直接向时任总统转达了这一请求，并与时任总统以及 White House（白宫）和 National Security Council（国家安全委员会）的高级官员进行了多次讨论，商讨安排孙力军及其他中国政府官员与美方举行会晤的事宜。\n\n在从事该等行为期间，永利的公司在中华人民共和国特别行政区澳门拥有并经营赌场。司法部指控，永利代表中国行事是出于保护其在澳门商业利益的考量。\n\n本案强制执行诉讼由国家安全司反间谍与出口管制处经办。出庭律师 Nathan Swinton（内森·斯温顿）负责本案诉讼。\n\n附件：下载 USA v.
