The NFL and Dan Snyder’s team agreed that both parties had to sign off before releasing any information from the league’s investigation into widespread workplace sexual harassment in Washington, a new document shows. The agreement appears to effectively give Snyder veto power over whatever was released from the investigation.
The document, a “common interest agreement,” was released by congressional Democrats holding hearings on the matter on Friday.
The House Democrats blasted the agreement and sent NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a letter demanding the full Wilkinson report and the thousands of documents the investigation turned up. In the letter, Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) threaten “alternate means of obtaining compliance” if the NFL doesn’t turn over the documents by Feb. 14. Maloney, the chair of the House Oversight committee, has subpoena power.
