On Thursday, the House Committee for Oversight and Reform’s investigation into the Commanders and Dan Snyder was released, and it found that the embattled co-owner gave “misleading testimony” and the NFL “buried” Beth Wilkinson’s report and findings. It also found that Snyder “permitted and participated in” troubling conduct.
“Commanders owner Daniel Snyder—who owned the Team during the two decades when workplace misconduct was rampant in the organization—also obstructed the Committee’s inquiry,” the report read. “Mr. Snyder was invited to testify at a public hearing but refused to appear and then sought to avoid service of a subpoena while abroad with his yacht. Mr. Snyder ultimately sat for a private deposition but failed to provide full and complete testimony.
“Over the course of the deposition, he claimed more than 100 times that he could not recall the answers to the Committee’s questions, including basic inquiries about his role as Team owner and multiple allegations of misconduct,” the report continued. “Mr. Snyder also gave misleading testimony about his efforts to interfere with the Wilkinson Investigation.”
