Lawyer for Vince McMahon says criminal probe ‘definitively concluded’ with no charges

Federal prosecutors have concluded their investigation into Vince McMahon, finding no charges will be filed, according to McMahon's attorney Robert W. Allen.
The investigation examined allegations of misconduct involving payments to silence accusations from former employees totaling over $10 million.
McMahon has consistently denied allegations of sexual assault and claims he settled cases to avoid litigation costs, asserting his innocence.
A federal judge ruled in 2024 that there was probable cause to believe McMahon broke the law, but the investigation is now closed, according to Allen's statement.
