A judge has temporarily halted a lawsuit against Linda McMahon, who has been nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Education Department. The lawsuit involves allegations against McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), a company she once led, regarding their handling of sex abuse claims from children who worked at wrestling events in the 1980s.
The pause in the case was ordered by Judge James Bredar in Maryland's federal district court. This decision will keep the lawsuit on hold until the Maryland Supreme Court issues a ruling. The lawsuit questions McMahon's knowledge and actions during her time at WWE, where a ringside announcer is accused of preying on underage boys.
