According to reports, federal prosecutors have launched an investigation into Vince McMahon, the controversial promoter of wrestling and the husband separated from the election of Donald Trump for the Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon.
“This is simply the result of an appeal of a procedural issue that was argued five months ago,” said one of McMahon's lawyers, Robert W. Allen The New York Post. “We have been in constant communication with the government from that moment and we understand, without ambiguity, that the investigation has finally concluded and will not lead to charges.”
Despite Allen's statement, questions about the scope of federal investigation and the specific reasons why he put himself in a sudden end, if that is, in fact, what happened.
Dailymail.com has communicated with the lawyers of McMahon, the spokesmen of the Justin department and the lawyers of Janel Grant, a former WWE employee who currently demands the promoter of the wrestling in the Federal Court for accusations of sexual aggression and Sex trafficking McMahon has repeatedly denied Grant's accusations.
A year ago, The Wall Street Journal reported McMahon was being investigated by federal prosecutors about accusations of 'sexual aggression' and 'sex trafficking'. However, a federal panel of three judges with the Court of Appeals of the Second Circuit gave a very different impression of that federal investigation in Friday's ruling. In fact, Friday's failure does not refer to sexual trafficking.
Without appointing McMahon, the ruling refers to the “topic of an ongoing investigation of the grand jury” and if “he participated in a criminal scheme to avoid the internal accounting controls of the company” to “hide multiple accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior” .
According to reports, federal prosecutors have eliminated investigation into Vince McMahon, the controversial wrestling promoter and the Trump's election husband for the Secretary of Education
Grant, a former WWE employee, has sued McMahon for accusations of abuse and traffic
The sources familiar with the case told the post that the unnamed CEO that is referenced in the ruling is, in fact, McMahon.
The panel ruled on Friday that an unidentified former lawyer for the former CEO was wrong to retain documents from the grand jury amid the investigation of the alleged money payments with two employees who accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior.
The documents of the case were not protected by the lawyer-client privilege, the judges ruled, due to an exception for the “crime or fraud” and, therefore, they should have shared with the court.
If federal investigation has been abandoned by prosecutors, as Allen states, it would be a big surprise. In June, federal judge Valerie Caproni ruled that the federal government 'established a probable cause to believe' McMahon and one of her former lawyers violated the law.
Specifically, Caproni cited evidence in his June ruling that McMahon and his lawyer “evidence ) “,” made false false and deceptive statements to the company's auditors.
Caproni and the Appeals panel of three judges have ruled that McMahon's conversations with the lawyer were not subject to the lawyer-client privilege.
Friday's ruling revealed that the Court of Appeals has examined files that show McMahon's unidentified lawyer “specifically indicated” to discuss payments “for text instead of email with the express purpose of preventing the company from obtaining his”.
There had also been an investigation of the Security and Verification Commission on payments worth $ 10.5 million. However, the SEC announced in the last days of the Biden administration that resolved civil claims with McMahon for not revealing payments to the WWE and its parent company, TKO.
McMahon resigned from TKO in January 2024 after Grant demanded him for accusations of sexual abuse and sexual trafficking.
Grant states that she was pressured to leave the WWE and sign a non -dissemination agreement of $ 3 million with McMahon. His demand aims to declare himself invalid, saying that McMahon paid only $ 1 million.
The $ 3 million agreement is mentioned in the decision of the appeal court on Friday, together with another $ 7.5 million agreement that the promoter allegedly made with another former employee.
Brock Lesnar has been appointed in the shocking demand for sex trafficking against Vince McMahon.
Last week, WWE Brock Lesnar has been appointed in a complaint amended in the current civil case.
The presentation includes new disturbing accusations against McMahon and other members of the Wrestling Company, appointing Lesnar as the fighter who allegedly attracted to remain under contract when using Grant as a 'sexual pawn'.
The complaint says that in 2021, McMahon was involved in continuous conversations with Lesnar for a return to the WWE when he offered the fighter and told him to create personalized sexual content for a superstar of the WWE, alleges the complaint.
According to the lawsuit, McMahon shared explicit photos with Lesnar and told Grant: “He likes what he sees.”
Then, supposedly after Lesnar agreed to his new WWE contract, it is said that McMahon sent a message to the subsidy in August 2021, telling him 'that part of the agreement was fucking U.'
The complaint had previously detailed the accusations, but had not appointed Lesnar, but quoted an anonymous fighter. The Wall Street Journal had previously identified the fighter in question as Lesnar.
The representatives of Lesnar have not responded to a request for comments. Dailymail.com has also contacted WWE to comment.
A McMahon lawyer told Dailymail.com: 'As expected, the proposal amended complaint is nothing more than the last advertising trick in an ongoing discredit campaign. It is full of desperate falsehoods of a team that continues to ignore the law and truth.
In October, subsidies lawyers sued Dr. Carlon Colker in Connecticut, where he says he was drugged by the doctor with unknown substances after being sent to the clinic for no less than McMahon.
Grant worked at the WWE headquarters in Stamford between June 2019 and March 2022
Grant seeks to force Colker and the clinic, Peak Wellness, to deliver their electronic and billing medical records, as well as any message between McMahon and the doctor about herself.
McMahon, who was supposedly in regular contact with Colker, received access to Grant's private medical records and his treatments, according to the demand.
Colker has denied accusations.
In its January presentation, Grant said that McMahon defined himself during a trio and penetrated it strongly with sex toys, which appointed his fighters.
He also claimed that McMahon and another WWE executive locked her in a room at the WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, in June 2021 and turned to sexually assault her during the work day.
McMahon is also accused of traffic of subsidies to other men and sharing naked photographs of the plaintiff.
Grant seeks unpredered damage to McMahon, who has repeatedly denied his accusations.
