Federal authorities served a search warrant on former WWE chair Vince McMahon on July 17th, apparently as part of an ongoing investigation into the Trump ally’s management of the entertainment company when he used more than $10 million of the company’s money to pay off people making sexual harassment complaints.
Yahoo Sports reports McMahon paid four women more than $12 million over a sixteen-year period to settle sexual abuse, harassment and other employment issues without reporting the settlements properly through financial statements. Similar allegations led to prison sentences for people like Allan Weiselberg and Michael Cohen.
The WWE conducted an internal investigation into the allegations, but did not release its findings. However, McMahon was invited to continue on the company’s board. Although he resigned as CEO, he continues to serve as the company’s executive chairman.
