Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder both 'permitted and participated' in the team's toxic workplace culture while the NFL helped to cover it up, the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform said on Thursday.

The report also stated that despite the NFL's knowledge -- through its internal investigation -- that Snyder engaged in tactics used to intimidate victims, the league aligned its legal interests with the Commanders and buried its findings. Commanders attorneys John Brownlee and Stuart Nash said in a statement that the final report is the culmination of what they called a "one-sided approach" by Congressional investigators only interested in "chasing headlines".
The committee's report on Thursday also said the NFL misled the public about its handling of the Wilkinson investigation and that Snyder used a secret common interest agreement with the league to prevent it from turning over documents from the Wilkinson investigative file to the committee. "And many of the more than 150 witnesses who participated in the Wilkinson investigation did so on the condition that their identities would be kept confidential," the NFL said.
