On Friday, WWE Hall of Famer and convicted felon Donald Trump’s presidential campaign announced his “transition team” for the 2024 election.
Two major donors and allies, including Linda McMahon (former head of his Small Business Administration) and Howard Lutnick (chairman and CEO of financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald) will lead the charge in the event he wins.
Additionally, JD Vance and Trump’s two sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, will serve as honorary chairs.
While they have been separated for quite some time now, Linda McMahon’s husband, Vince McMahon, is currently the subject of a federal investigation over sexual misconduct accusations by a number of women, including Janel Grant who is suing Vince in civil court. Grant claims in her lawsuit that McMahon forced her into a sexual relationship to keep her job and passed around pornographic images of her to other men in the company.
The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York asked Grant to pause her lawsuit pending a non-public investigation into Vince McMahon, which she has agreed to do.
