The ranking member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee vowed Tuesday to shut down the Democrat-led panel’s investigation into the NFL and the Washington Commanders if Republicans take control of the House in the upcoming midterm elections.
Rep. James Comer, a Kentucky Republican, told The Washington Times that investigating the “Washington Redskins” won’t be a priority for the party, adding the committee’s focus will shift to “providing oversight” of the Biden administration.
The declaration, while expected, comes as Commanders owner Dan Snyder and lawmakers clash over the acceptance of the service of a subpoena and whether the embattled billionaire will testify at a deposition.
