Wynn to mayor Walsh: I’ll sue you!

Wynn Resorts is upping the stakes in its showdown with City Hall over its 
casino license, threatening to bring defamation charges
against Mayor Martin J. Walsh for “vicious falsehoods” in subpoenas Boston filed last week as part of its lawsuit against the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.

“The purpose of this letter is to urge you to cease your campaign of falsehoods against my client and to apologize for the 
irreparable damage you have already caused,” states the blistering letter fired off by California attorney 
Barry Langberg.

“Proper and ethical conduct on your part at this point demands that you do everything in your power to correct the falsehoods you have spread and mitigate the damage caused by those reckless and untrue statements,” the missive says.

In its lawsuit against the Gaming Commission, the city issued subpoenas to eight current and former state police, alleging that troopers assigned to an investigation of Charles Lightbody gave former staties now working as private detectives for Wynn information about the 
investigation in the “wire-tap room” at the attorney general’s office.
