Court documents said the case was stayed pending a ruling by the Supreme Court of Maryland on consolidated appeals on the constitutionality of the Maryland Child Victims Act of 2023.
A lawsuit accusing former WWE CEO Linda McMahon, President-elect Trump's pick for secretary of education, of turning a blind eye to child sexual abuse by a former ringside announcer at the wrestling company has been paused, according to court documents filed this week in the U.S. District Court in Maryland.
An attorney for Linda McMahon told CBS News in late November that the Cabinet nominee would 'vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit and without doubt ultimately succeed.'The motion filed by their attorney states that because the incidents happened in the 1980s and were filed under the law's recent change, the case couldn't move forward until the question of whether the law was constitutional was resolved.
