Wynn to mayor Walsh: Ill 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 generals office.
