Vince McMahon Under Federal Investigation for Sexual Assault, Trafficking Allegations

The WWE co-founder faces serious accusations, including from former employee Janel Grant, leading to his resignation from TKO and sparking a federal probe.

Federal prosecutors are investigating sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations against WWE co-founder Vince McMahon, with a focus on claims made by former WWE employee Janel Grant and others.
McMahon resigned from his role as executive chairman of TKO, WWE's parent company, following the lawsuit filed by Grant, which accuses him of sexual misconduct, including trafficking her to other men within WWE.
The federal investigation includes a grand jury subpoena and a search warrant for McMahon's phone, seeking documents related to allegations of sexual misconduct against current or former WWE employees.
John Laurinaitis, former head of talent relations for WWE and co-defendant in the lawsuit, claims through his attorney that he is also a victim of McMahon's actions, not a predator.
WWE may limit mentions of Vince McMahon on TV amidst the scandal fallout, with speculation that the company might attempt to distance itself from McMahon's legacy.
