Washington Football Team owner Daniel Snyder filed a motion of discovery against former team president Bruce Allen in a federal court, seeking to go through his text messages and documents that allegedly led to negative reporting against him.
Snyder filed the suit in California Central District Court on Thursday against a man who served under him for 10 years. Snyder fired Allen after the 2019 season.
Allen also was close to the three former minority owners in the franchise: Fred Smith, Robert Rothman and Dwight Schar. That group exchanged court filings and accusations with Snyder over the past year, but he bought out their shares last month, ending their squabble.
