A federal judge paused the child sexual abuse case involving President-elect Donald Trump's education secretary pick Linda McMahon, her husband Vince McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
ByMcMahon, who served as Trump's Small Business Services administrator for two years, has no teaching or experience.
The stay in the case is a major development for the businesswoman and former Small Business Administration head -- Linda McMahon's cabinet role is tasked with investigating sexual misconduct in education programs. U.S. District Judge James K. Bredar granted a stay in the case pending a ruling by the Supreme Court of Maryland in the Maryland Child Victims Act of 2023 . The CVA could repeal the statute of limitations in certain civil actions relating to child sexual abuse, according to Maryland House Bill 1. This includes sexual abuse and any other sexual conduct that is a crime.
The scathing lawsuit came just weeks before Linda McMahon's nomination for education secretary. The decades-old sexual abuse allegations were slammed by her attorney, Laura Brevetti. In November, Brevetti told ABC News the FBI investigated the allegations at the time and found no grounds to further investigate the claims, calling the most recent lawsuit "baseless."
