WEEKLY FEATURE: States Blast DOJ Wire Act Ruling

New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal (l.) is criticizing the federal Department of Justice’s reversal on its interpretation on the federal Wire Act and openly questioning whether Las Vegas Sands owner Sheldon Adelson is behind it. New Jersey, along with the attorney general of neighboring Pennsylvania, has sent letters to the DOJ strongly criticizing the new opinion. New Jersey is one of three states that allows online gambling and Pennsylvania has approved online gambling.
