Washington: George Clooney isn’t letting go of the war-of-words just yet. The actor has said that casino owner Steve Wynn, who allegedly called Barack Obama an “as*****” but later denied making such a comment, did indeed say it and that there were witnesses.

The beef between the Hollywood star and the billionaire businessman stems from an argument over Clooney’s “longtime friend” President Barack Obama that erupted during a dinner in Vegas last month. In a released statement to a magazine, the Academy Award winner asserted that Wynn said he didn’t call the president an “as*****”, which was false, and that the business magnate shouted that he had voted for an “as*****” and then called Obama the derogatory word numerous more times as the dinner came to an abrupt end.
