Trump nominates Linda McMahon for education secretary amid ongoing lawsuit allegations

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon to be the secretary of the Department of Education. McMahon, a former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), previously led the Small Business Administration during Trump's first term. This nomination comes as McMahon and her husband, Vince McMahon, face a lawsuit from five individuals alleging sexual abuse by a former WWE employee. The plaintiffs claim they were abused while working as "ring boys" in the 1980s. Vince McMahon is also facing separate allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking. A lawsuit filed in January outlines years of alleged assaults, but the case has been paused pending a federal investigation.
