The owners of the hotel where Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock killed 58 people and injured hundreds more is under fire for setting up hero security guard Jesus Campos in a room for free, prompting concerns that the hotel is tampering with a key witness in the case.

MGM Resorts International, which owns the Mandalay Bay hotel that employed Campos, began housing the guard shortly after he was identified on October 4 as the officer shot by Paddock. Lawyers are concerned about the arrangement because authorities have had trouble pinning down whether Paddock shot Campos before or after his rampage began.

“There’s a suspicion that they are trying to shape his testimony and don’t want him to provide information to the public about the incident,” Las Vegas attorney Will Kemp, who sued the MGM Grand after a deadly 1980 fire, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Thursday. “Obviously, they want him to come out with a version of the timeline that’s favorable to them.”

Another article discussing how MGM has worked to shape the narrative by advising Campos which interviews to avoid.  They also mention the relationship Ellen has with MGM casinos.

MGM has a lot to lose. The casinos run the town.
Principles matter. Words matter.
