Vince McMahon Lawyer Claims Criminal Federal Investigation Against McMahon was Dropped

As noted before, a Federal Appeals Court ruled this past Monday that a former lawyer for Vince McMahon had wrongfully “withhold some documents from a federal grand jury” during its investigation into how McMahon had handled settlements with women who had accused him of sexual abuse. The documents in question were 208 in total and were ruled to not found to be protected by attorney-client privilege due to the criminal nature for the investigation.

In an official statement to the New York Post, McMahon’s lawyer claimed that the federal investigation against McMahon had been dropped and is not active as had been assumed based on the court’s recent ruling against McMahon.

“This is simply the result of an appeal of a procedural matter that was argued five months ago. We have been in consistent communication with the government since that time and understand, with no ambiguity, that the investigation has definitively concluded and will not result in charges.”

McMahon is still currently facing a lawsuit from former WWE employee Janel Grant over her allegations of McMahon had committing sex trafficking and sexual abuse towards her during her time in the company.
