A report from Brandon Thurston of POST Wrestling has provided new details on testimony given by Nick Khan as part of the ongoing shareholder merger lawsuit against former WWE board members in the Delaware Chancery Court.
During the course of the December 2025 testimony, the WWE President was asked when he became aware of the Department of Justice stepped in to address matters beyond accounting issues, alluding to NDAs negotiated by Vince McMahon that came to light in 2022:
When the search warrants for the devices were served upon Vince, Brad Blum, and Vince’s personal assistant and when those warrants were sent from Vince’s lawyers to WWE’s lawyers, and they were read to me and it included sex trafficking is when I was aware of it.
One such search warrant was executed on McMahon in July 2023, according to a WWE securities disclosure filed soon after.
The information comes in the midst of another ongoing lawsuit, filed by Janel Grant against McMahon and WWE in January 2024 alleging the former employee was sexually assaulted by the former executive chair.
Khan also confirmed that DOJ prosecutors asked him about “sex crimes” during his own government interview, in addition to questions regarding the recording of payments.
Representatives for McMahon said in early 2025 that the federal investigation had concluded without any charges.
