Former WWE executive and personality Vince McMahon, 78, is under a federal investigation as he grapples with sex trafficking allegations by an ex-employee, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
The investigation stems from sexual misconduct accusations against McMahon by a number of women. "Sometime in the summer," McMahon received a grand jury subpoena, the sources said.
The US Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York is leading the investigation, the existence of which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. A spokesman for the prosecutor's office declined to comment.
The nature of the investigation was not immediately clear, but it could be financial after the paper reported in 2022 that McMahon agreed to pay more than $12 million in the past two decades to settle allegations of sexual misconduct.
