The Wire Act was already restored

In his April 24 op-ed, lobbyist Jon Bruning presented several alternative facts about our nation’s gambling laws and history. The most egregious error was his assertion that a 2011 opinion issued by the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice amounted to a reinterpretation of the 1961 Wire Act and that the Trump Administration — presumably newly minted Attorney General Jeff Sessions — must act to “restore” the Act to its original intent. The reality, however, is that the 2011 legal opinion already did that.
