The United States government filed paperwork in the Janel Grant vs. Vince McMahon, WWE and John Laurinaitis, adding the government as an "interested party" in the lawsuit. The filing notes:
To the Clerk of this Court and all parties of record:
In addition to counsel already of record, please enter my appearance as counsel for the United States of America, Sarah Mortazavi, Assistant United States Attorney.
Respectfully submitted,
Damian Williams
United States Attorney /s/ Sarah Mortazavi
Assistant United States Attorney
United States Attorney’s Office
Southern District of New York
26 Federal Plaza
New York, New York 10278
PWInsider.com can also confirm that there were four sealed documents submitted to the court today by on behalf of Sarah Mortazavi for The United States Of America.
Obviously, there are major ramifications to the United States getting involved and none of them would be good for the defendants.
