A day after the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Oversight and Reform accepted Commanders owner Dan Snyder’s offer to testify July 28, his legal team responded to the committee’s intention to issue a subpoena.
“There is no valid basis to issue a subpoena for Mr. Snyder’s testimony. We intend that he will testify voluntarily on July 28, as he has long agreed and looks forward to the opportunity to do.”
The committee chairwoman, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) wrote in a letter earlier this week that the committee “will proceed with a subpoena in place to ensure that Mr. Snyder’s testimony will be full and complete and will not be restricted in the way it would be if the deposition were conducted voluntarily.” She added, “Mr. Snyder has a troubling history of using [non-disclosure agreements] to cover up workplace misconduct—behavior that is central to our investigation—and it would be highly inappropriate for him to employ the same tactic to withhold information from the Committee.”
