Judge Halts Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Against Trump Education Secretary Pick Linda McMahon

A judge has paused a lawsuit against Linda McMahon, Trump's Education Secretary pick, and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), over allegations of failing to act on child sexual abuse by a ringside announcer in the 1980s. The case is on hold pending a Maryland Supreme Court ruling on a law lifting the statute of limitations for such lawsuits. The lawsuit claims McMahon and WWE were negligent in protecting minors from abuse by Melvin Phillips Jr., a former WWE announcer. McMahon denies the allegations, and WWE plans to challenge the law if the case proceeds.
