Snyder Used ‘Shadow Investigation’ Against Accusers, Congress Says

New evidence was released by Congress Wednesday that alleged Commanders team owner Dan Snyder conducted a “shadow investigation” as lawyer Beth Wilkinson did her internal probe for the NFL.

Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, chairwoman of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Oversight and Reform, released a memo on Wednesday morning ahead of the committee’s hearing on its investigation. 

According to the memo, Snyder not only allegedly used private investigators in his own probe but also “abused the subpoena power of federal courts to obtain private emails, call logs, and communications in an effort to uncover the sources of the Washington Post’s exposés, undermine their credibility, and impugn their motives.”
