The casino company run by Sheldon Adelson, Newt Gingrich's principal financial backer, is being investigated by Department of Justice and the Securities Exchange Commission for alleged bribery of foreign officials, ABC News reports. Adelson and his wife have given at least $10 million to the pro-Gingrich Super PAC Winning our Future. Adelson owns a 49 percent stake in the Sands casino chain, which operates a casino in Macau, a Chinese region where gambling involves "widespread corruption, organized crime and money laundering," according to a U.S. agency.
