Dan Snyder tried to obstruct sexual misconduct investigation of Commanders, and NFL misled public about probe, House report says

Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder interfered in an investigation led by the NFL of allegations by former employees that there was rampant sexual harassment by team executives, according to a new report published Thursday by the House Oversight and Reform Committee.

The report also said Snyder tried to impede a separate House committee investigation by "intimidating witnesses and blocking the production of documents." The report accused him of being evasive and misleading, noting that he had said more than 100 times when testifying to the committee that he did not recall things.

The Commanders created a "toxic work culture" for more than two decades, "ignoring and downplaying sexual misconduct" by men at the top levels of the organization, the report said.
