Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder gave “misleading” testimony in a deposition to Congress and repeatedly evaded basic questions regarding his team’s workplace misconduct, according to a report from the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
The Democrat-led panel released its long-awaited report Thursday, finding Snyder “permitted and participated” in the Commanders’ “deeply entrenched toxic work culture” and tried to interfere with probes into him. The embattled billionaire, the report says, hired private investigators to obstruct the NFL’s investigation into his team and interfered the congressional committee’s probe by intimidating witnesses and blocking the release of documents.
The Oversight Committee also sharply criticized the NFL, which the committee said refused to hand over 40,000 documents related to Beth Wilkinson’s investigation into Commanders’ workplace.
