tl;dr - Case was on hold per Justice Dept request, Grant’s lawyer did lawyer things while case was on hold, McMahon’s tries to argue that Grant’s lawyers actions break the hold, Judge went ‘lol no, putz.’.

There’s actually an investigation? That had slipped my notice/memory.
Yep. A little while after Grant launched her lawsuit against McMahon and discovery was underway, the US DOJ stepped in and requested Grant’s case be put on hold as they have a pending investigation into McMahon, which was granted by the trial judge. Given the DOJ typically doesn’t go this far unless if they’re ready to crucify you balls-first we’re all just kinda waiting until they eventually announce something lol.
