The U.S. House of Representatives' Oversight Committee of the Washington Commanders on Thursday, when several members of Congre s argued team owner Daniel Snyder has not fully been held accountable for his role in a workplace culture once rampant with sexual hara sment. Now, the committee has to NFL commi sioner Roger Goodell, calling on the league to release the full findings of its investigation into Washington, while threatening "alternate means of obtaining compliance" from both the team and NFL.To date, the NFL has shared nearly 80,000 pages of Emmitt Smith Jersey documents related to its investigation of the Commanders' allegedly inappropriate work environment, league spokesperson Brian McCarthy said Friday, per NFL.com. But McCarthy added that the Oversight Committee, the top investigative arm of the U.S. House, is now asking for many documents "clearly protected by the attorney-client privilege." The committee revealed Friday that, days after the NFL officially took over Snyder's investigation into his own team, the NFL and Commanders (then the ) agreed to a "joint legal strategy" that prohibited any investigation information from being shared without the consent of both parties.The NFL withdrew from its private agreement with the team in October, per the committee, the same month the chairman and chairwoman Amari Cooper Jersey of the Oversight Committee first contacted Goodell about turning over investigation information. This has created a "legal limbo," per NFL.com, with the league withholding the full release of documents requested by Congre s.The committee also revealed Friday that, while Snyder and the Commanders agreed that attorney Beth Wilkinson, who conducted the NFL's investigation into the team, would produce a written report with her findings; Goodell asked Wilkinson to present her findings to him orally instead. Goodell believed an oral briefing "would better preserve the anonymity a surances given to many of the witne ses" involved in the investigation, according to an NFL memo submitted to the committee DeMarcus Lawrence Jersey in November. The attorneys of dozens of former Washington employees have called for the exact opposite, however, demanding for months now the full release of investigation findings. That includes the six former staffers who appeared before the committee at a Washington, D.C., hearing on Thursday, . In addition to levying new allegations of sexual hara sment against Snyder himself (which the owner has since denied), the ex-employees all sought more transparency from the findings, arguing that Snyder has escaped full culpability for the hara sment that occurred within his organization over an 18-year period.
