Attorney: Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder won't testify under subpoena

Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder's attorney rejected the House Oversight committee's reasoning for wanting him to testify under a subpoena later this month, reiterating that he would do so voluntarily.

In a letter, attorney Karen Patton Seymour called the committee's concerns that her client would withhold information if not testifying under a subpoena "baseless."

On Tuesday, Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) accepted Snyder's offer to testify July 28 via videoconference, but said in a letter to Seymour that the committee would issue a subpoena and wanted a response from Snyder by noon today.

Though the subpoena was issued, it was not served to Snyder, who is still overseas, multiple sources said.
