Federal agents executed a search warrant and served the WWE executive chairman with a subpoena in July, the company disclosed Wednesday
WWE executive chairman Vince McMahon has expressed confidence that a new federal investigation into misconduct allegations against him will be “resolved without any findings of wrongdoing.”
Federal law enforcement executed a search warrant and served a federal grand jury subpoena July 17 on McMahon to investigate the allegations, the company revealed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Wednesday. It noted that the company received “voluntary and compulsory legal demands for documents, including from federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies, concerning the investigation and related subject matters.”
In a separate statement, WWE said that it has “cooperated throughout and fully understands and respects the government’s need for a complete process.”
According to the filing, no charges have been brought in the federal government’s investigations. McMahon is currently out on a medical leave of absence “until further notice” following a major spinal surgery, the filing adds.
