FORMER WWE boss Vince McMahon is being investigated by federal authorities over allegations of sex trafficking.
McMahon, 78, stepped down as the head of WWE’s parent company TKO Group Holdings last month after bombshell accusations from ex-employee Janel Grant.
Vince McMahon is reportedly under federal investigation
Grant claims she was “the victim of physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and trafficking” during her time with the wrestling organization.
McMahon is now under federal investigation, per the Wall Street Journal.
The report claims federal agents “executed a search warrant for McMahon’s phone” over the summer and “delivered him a subpoena.”
A spokesperson for McMahon said the lawsuit is “replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and a vindictive distortion of the truth,” per NBC.
“I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name”, McMahon’s statement added.
Grant began working at WWE’s Connecticut headquarters in June 2019.
