The NFL and the Washington Commanders signed a document agreeing that neither side would share information about the investigation into workplace misconduct unless both approved of it, according to a document released Friday by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
The "Common Interest Agreement" was signed by the NFL and team officials on July 16, 2020, days after the league took over the investigation into decades of sexual harassment and misconduct. The sides pledged a "joint legal strategy" so that privileged documents and information about the investigation could not be released without sign-offs from both sides.
