Linda McMahon, Trump's Education pick, was sued for allegedly enabling sexual abuse of children
(CNN) A recent lawsuit alleges Linda McMahon, who President-elect Donald Trump tapped to lead the Department of Education, knowingly enabled the sexual exploitation of children by a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) employee as early as the 1980s allegations she denies.
McMahon is the former CEO of the WWE, which she co-founded with her husband, Vince. As head of the WWE, Linda McMahon oversaw its transformation from a wrestling entertainment company into a publicly traded media empire. She stepped down in 2009 to run for Senate, but she lost in Connecticut in 2010 and 2012.
As McMahon who co-chairs Trumps transition team vies to be confirmed as Education secretary, a recent lawsuit raises questions about her care for childrens safety at the WWE.
The suit alleges McMahon, her husband, the WWE and TKO Group Holdings, the leagues parent company, knowingly allowed employee Melvin Phillips Jr. to use his position as ringside announcer to sexually exploit children.
