A federal investigation into disgraced wrestling mogul Vince McMahon has zeroed in on charges of sexual assault and sex trafficking as revealed earlier this year in a bombshell lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant.
Bloomberg first reported that Grant had agreed to pause that lawsuit in deference to a federal probe into McMahon, former WWE head of talent relations John Laurenitis, and WWE itself, the same parties named in Grant's lawsuit. Grant's lawyer, Ann Callis, told the outlet: Ms. Grant has consented to a request by the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York to stay her case against Mr. McMahon, WWE and Mr. Laurinaitis, pursuant to a pending non-public investigation.
McMahon executed the sale in 2023 after forcing his way back into power after being compelled to retire in 2022 due to an internal investigation into hush money payments made to multiple women. While McMahon remains the subject of an investigation by the federal government for those payments made to Grant and others totaling millions of dollars, he has denied all allegations against him.
