Folks, the ongoing legal saga of Vince McMahon has been a twisting, turning rollercoaster, and today we have yet another development—his lawyer says the federal investigation is officially over, and no charges are coming.
But here’s the thing… is it actually over?
Let’s break it down:
What Happened?
- Last month, Vince McMahon hinted that the federal investigation was over while addressing his settlement with the SEC.
- That settlement was related to undisclosed NDA payments made to Janel Grant, who is currently suing him for sex trafficking and abuse, as well as another woman.
- Yesterday, that assumption was challenged when it was revealed that an appellate court ruled against a McMahon lawyer, forcing them to turn over 200+ documents related to the investigation to a grand jury.
- This ruling made it seem like the investigation was still ongoing.
But Today? Vince’s Lawyer Says It’s DONE.
- McMahon’s lawyer, Robert W. Allen, spoke to the New York Post and flat-out said the investigation is over.
- His exact words:
“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.”
- A source also told The Post that prosecutors decided not to press charges sometime between September 18 and January 10—the same day McMahon settled with the SEC.
So… Why The Court Ruling and Grand Jury?
This is the big question.
If the investigation was already over, why would:
- An appellate court force McMahon’s lawyer to turn over documents?
- A grand jury still be involved?
And here’s the really interesting part:
- The U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York—the people actually in charge of this whole thing—declined to comment. 🤨
So is it over? Maybe. But this whole thing still smells fishy.
One thing’s for sure—this isn’t the last time we’ll hear about it.
