New Jersey Sues DOJ on Adelson Connection to Wire Act Opinion

New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal (l.) has filed suit against the U.S. Department of Justice to acquire documents related to the department’s recent legal opinion on the 1961 Wire Act that has called into question the legality of online gaming. Grewal has charged that the recent wire act opinion from the DOJ was heavily influenced by lobbyists for Sheldon Adelson, who has been personally financing an effort to get online gambling banned in the U.S.
