BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- The NFL fined former Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder $60 million after an independent investigation concluded he sexually harassed a team employee and that the team withheld revenue from the NFL.
Attorney Mary Jo White, who led the investigation, informed the league's owners of her findings during a special session Thursday. The news of her findings broke at the same time it was announced that the owners had unanimously approved the sale of the Commanders to Josh Harris for $6.05 billion. The fine against Snyder represents 1% of the sale price.
In her findings, White cited Snyder's lack of cooperation, apart from a one-hour interview he did with investigators on June 29, about 17 months after her investigation began.
