A lawsuit filed in October accused former WWE CEO Linda McMahon, President-elect Trump's nominee for secretary of education, of turning a blind eye to child sexual abuse by a former ringside announcer at the wrestling company.
The suit claims McMahon, her husband Vince and others at the WWE were aware of misconduct by Melvin Phillips — and negligent in failing to prevent it. The lawsuit alleges Phillips for years hired — and later assaulted — "ring boys" as young as 13.
