Janel Grant’s Representitves Send Warning Against Linda McMahon’s New Role In Donald Trump Administration

Linda McMahon was tapped by Donald Trump to be in his cabinet for his next administration as the Secretary of Education. While there were some people who were really happy about this, like Stephanie McMahon who sent out a glowing message for her mother, others are not so thrilled to see a McMahon getting this kind of power in the political world.

Janel Grant’s representatives reached out to Ringside News, criticizing Linda McMahon’s nomination. Grant famously sued Vince McMahon for trafficking and sexual abuse.

The email from Grant’s legal team referenced serious allegations tied to WWE, including a recent lawsuit involving former employees. These allegations have reignited discussions about accountability within the company McMahon co-founded with her husband, Vince McMahon.

The email highlighted similiarities between Linda McMahon’s nomination and Matt Gaetz’s withdrawal from consideration for U.S. attorney general. Gaetz’s withdrawal followed allegations of misconduct that were deemed a “distraction” to the Donald Trump transition. Similar concerns have now been raised about Linda McMahon’s potential role in the administration.

Janel Grant’s representatives detailed specific allegations against the McMahons. They noted a lawsuit filed by five anonymous plaintiffs, who alleged that the McMahons turned a blind eye to sexual abuse of underage employees in the 1980s. Vince McMahon was also named in the email, accused of admitting that children were unsafe around one of the alleged abusers as early as 1992.

Another claim involves Vince McMahon’s ongoing federal investigation into allegations of sexual assault and human trafficking. The accusations center on Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, who alleges she was coerced into non-consensual acts and exploited for contractual leverage within WWE. Grant claims that explicit material of her was shared with WWE employees without her consent.

The email also alleges that WWE leadership ignored Janel Grant’s mistreatment, despite signs of favoritism and rumors about her relationship with Vince McMahon. The lack of intervention, combined with reports of hush payments, has raised questions about the culture within WWE and its handling of such issues.

The email also highlighted how Vince McMahon allegedly made $14.6 million in hush payments to four women over the last 16 years. These payments were reportedly made to suppress allegations of misconduct. Federal law enforcement is now involved, with McMahon under investigation by a grand jury, following SEC filings by WWE’s parent company.

Linda McMahon’s political background includes leading the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term and significant financial contributions to his 2024 campaign. While her career as co-founder of WWE brought her into the public eye, the controversies surrounding WWE continue to follow her into her political ventures.

We will have to see how this transpires in the months to come. At this point, Linda McMahon’s nomination is facing a fair amount of scrutiny.
