The NFL's Washington Commanders on Wednesday announced the hiring of a private firm headed by two former federal prosecutors to investigate sexual harassment allegations against team owner Dan Snyder.
The Commanders said the firm, Pallas Global Group LLC, has retained Debra Wong Yang, a partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, LLP in Los Angeles and a former judge, to manage an independent investigation into Tiffani Johnston's allegations against Snyder.
Johnston, a former cheerleader and marketing and events coordinator for the team, told a House Oversight Committee roundtable last week that Snyder allegedly put his hand on her thigh during a dinner and aggressively pushed her toward his limousine with his hand on her lower back as she fended off advances.
