Vince McMahon's lawyer was wrong to withhold documents sought by grand jury, court rules

A Federal Appeals Court ruled that Vince McMahon's former lawyer improperly withheld documents from a grand jury investigating multimillion-dollar settlements related to sexual abuse allegations.
The 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals stated the documents were not protected by attorney-client privilege due to an exception for 'crime or fraud.'
The Court noted that the case involves proceedings currently before a grand jury, which led to the appeal.
The District Court found that the settlement agreements were structured to keep allegations hidden from the company and its auditors.
