Former SEC chair Mary Jo White will “review the serious matters” raised by the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Oversight and Reform concerning the Commanders and their financial conduct, NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said in a statement to Sports Illustrated.
Additionally, the league said it will “continue to cooperate with the oversight committee and have provided more than 210,000 pages of documents,” which include materials that have been shared since the committee first launched the investigation last fall.
On Tuesday, the committee released a statement and a copy of its 20-page letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which asserted that Washington and co-team owner Dan Snyder “may have engaged in a troubling, long-running, and potentially unlawful pattern of financial conduct that victimized thousands of team fans and the National Football League.”
