Last week, the company, McMahon and a former WWE executive were sued by a former employee alleging those crimes. McMahon has also discussed being under federal investigation and having a phone seized by federal officials, a senior-level WWE executive and another personal friend told NBC News. Representatives for McMahon, TKO Group and WWE did not immediately respond Friday to requests for comment on the federal investigation. McMahon is no stranger to allegations of sexual assault — and has survived several during his reign at the company. McMahon also faced federal conspiracy charges alleging orchestrated steroid use among WWE wrestlers, and he was found not guilty by a jury in 1994.

Despite the luxurious lifestyle that National Football League players can often afford, New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito is happy to live with his parents. "It was a no-brainer for me," said DeVito, 25, in a recent interview with ESPN. Although he's a rookie, the New Jersey native has taken over as starting quarterback since the team's starting quarterback Daniel Jones and backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor were sidelined with injuries. "The decision was made since this level of football is stressful for a rookie, especially from the quarterback position. So everything outside of football is handled by my family."

Fed officials don’t expect inflation to reach 2% until 2026, according to their latest economic projections released in September. If there’s one thing that would make the Fed quake in its boots, it would be worsening inflation expectations. The keyword there is “timely.”Sticky inflation could possibly “un-anchor” inflation expectations or elicit a consistent deterioration in Americans’ perception on inflation. “The Fed really just wants people to not expect inflation will run at 4% forever.”So what’s kept inflation expectations in check this long?
