Vince McMahon’s Federal Criminal Probe Definitively Dropped

Vince McMahon’s lawyer has clarified the situation around a federal probe into the former WWE Chairman.

On February 11th, the 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals in New York ruled that Vince McMahon’s former lawyer was wrong to withhold documents from a grand jury investigation into how McMahon handled financial settlement agreements with two former employees who accused him of sexual abuse. The unnamed lawyer had argued that attorney-client privilege applied to the documents, however, the court concluded it did not due to an exception for “crime or fraud.”

While the investigation was thought to have concluded in January, the appeal court’s ruling cast doubt on this, saying that the case “concerns proceedings currently before a grand jury. At present, no indictments have been issued.”

One of McMahon’s current lawyers, Robert W. Allen, has now confirmed to the New York Post that the investigation has “definitively concluded. ” The ruling on withheld documents stems from a “procedural matter” argued several months ago.

“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.”
