- Linda McMahon, the former Trump administration official who now runs President Donald Trump’s biggest super PAC, presided over a child-sexual-abuse scandal in the 1990s, an Insider investigation has found.
- In 1992, WWE, the wrestling behemoth that McMahon cofounded with her husband, Vince, faced allegations that a ring announcer Mel Phillips sexually abused the teen boys who helped him set up for matches.
- An attorney for WWE told Business Insider that the accusations against Phillips were about a “foot fetish” and did not include “anything approximating conventional forms of sexual abuse such as rape, sodomy, etc.” He described claims that the McMahons knew about the accusations while continuing to work with Phillips as “outlandish” and “classic libel.”
