Jerry Jones Accuses Commanders Report of Political Bias

The House Committee for Oversight and Reform released its final report on its investigation into Dan Snyder and the Commanders franchise on Thursday, finding that the owner provided “misleading” testimony and made moves to obstruct investigations into the team and his own conduct. The report also states the NFL itself “buried” Beth Wilkinson’s report and findings on the club.

The Cowboys are one of the Commanders’ heated rivals on the field, but off it, Jerry Jones has been one of the owners most willing to come to Snyder’s defense. That was the case during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan on Friday, when he railed against what he says is political bias in the Democrat-led House Committee’s report, as well as an unnamed “woman attorney” that he claims is “on a campaign … to stop having [workplace] settlements.”

“First of all, I hope our fans see how politically biased this report is,” Jones said during Friday’s appearance. “This report doesn’t even come out if the Republicans were in Congress. It’s that stupid. And, so, my point is there’s biasness [sic] all the way through. There are stories behind the stories.”
