McMahon&#8217;s attorney Robert W. Allen told the New York Post that the case against his client has been closed despite a recent ruling from an appeals court that upheld a lower court&#8217;s ruling that McMahon&#8217;s former attorney wrongfully withheld documents related to settlements with women who accused him of sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is simply the result of an appeal of a procedural matter that was argued five months ago,&#8221; Allen said. &#8220;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.&#8221; Read the full story at <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/02\/12\/us-news\/criminal-probe-into-wwe-boss-vince-mcmahon-dropped-lawyer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NYPost.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> One can only wonder if the feds would have sought an indictment if the U.S. Presidential election had a different outcome. McMahon is longtime friends with Donald Trump, which led to speculation of a potential pardon. McMahon is still facing the recently amended civil lawsuit brought on by Janel Grant. Pardons do not apply to civil lawsuits.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2172655604\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":137390,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[5121,56,101],"class_list":["post-165961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-janel-grant","tag-vince-mcmahon","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
