The congressional committee investigating the Washington Commanders has asked team owner Dan Snyder and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to testify before lawmakers later this month — marking yet another development in the months-long investigation into the team’s workplace culture.

In a statement shared on Wednesday, Reps. Carolyn B. Maloney and Raja Krishnamoorthi requested that both men appear before the House Oversight Committee on June 22 “to…answer our questions about the pervasive workplace misconduct at the Washington Commanders, and how the NFL addressed these issues.

“The Committee has worked tirelessly to obtain critical information … only to be met with obstruction from the commanders and the NFL at every turn,” Maloney writes in the release.

The House committee investigation into the team began last fall following allegations of sexual harassment and other workplace misconduct in 2020 that prompted an NFL probe into the team. More than a dozen women came forward alleging they’d been sexually harassed and verbally abused by Commanders employees under Snyder’s ownership in a lengthy Washington Post investigation into the team. The allegations raised by the women ranged from employees making disparaging comments about their physical appearance, to urging them to flirt with clients in order to close deals.

The NFL investigation ended in a $10 million fine and an unreleased report — a punishment that did not satisfy Congress, which opted to conduct its own investigation.

Since opening its inquiry, the committee has requested documents, interviews, and one roundtable with former Commanders employees, uncovering additional details about alleged wrongdoing by the franchise. During the roundtable, Tiffani Johnston, a former cheerleader and marketing manager, brought forth additional allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct directly involving Dan Snyder. (The allegations prompted both Snyder and the NFL to launch their own investigations into the allegations.) Then, this spring, the franchise’s former vice president of ticketing, Jason Friedman, brought forth new allegations of financial impropriety in his testimony before the committee. Friedman alleged that the team purposefully withheld a portion of the ticket revenue meant to be shared equally among all 32 teams in the league, violating the NFL’s revenue sharing policy. The Commanders have denied these allegations, but Friedman’s testimony inspired both the Virginia and D.C. attorneys general to open their own probes into the team.

In a statement sent to multiple news outlets, a spokesperson for the NFL did not confirm whether Goodell would testify, but wrote that the league will “respond in a timely matter” to the lawmakers’ request.

“The NFL has cooperated extensively throughout the Committee’s lengthy investigation of the Washington Commanders, including by producing more than 460,000 pages of documents and responding to numerous questions in writing and on conversations with the Committee’s staff,” wrote the spokesperson.

A spokesperson for the Commanders gave a similar response, stating that Snyder would respond to the committee’s invitation “in a timely manner.”

“The Commanders have assisted the NFL in cooperating with all prior requests from the House Oversight and Reform Committee,” reads a statement emailed to DCist/WAMU.

As Snyder decides whether he will sit before Congress, the Commanders are trying to figure out where their new stadium will be after their contract at FedExField in Landover, Md. expires following the 2026 season. In late May, the team acquired the right to purchase land in Woodbridge, Virginia, for a potential new stadium — roughly 23 miles away from D.C. — but that effort won’t go anywhere until lawmakers in Richmond decide whether or not they’re supportive.
