Washington Football Team owner Daniel Snyder filed a federal lawsuit seeking to reveal information about the owners of New Content Media, whose website meaww.com ran a story in July alleging Snyder was linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein died in a jail cell in August 2019 while facing federal sex trafficking of minors charges in New York and Florida.
TMZ Sports reported the news Friday and noted Snyder also filed a $10 million lawsuit against New Content Media in India, where the company is located.
Snyder's court filings state the allegations, which he labeled as "utterly untrue" with no "legitimate journalistic basis whatsoever," were later referenced in at least 22 other internet articles and generated more than 160 million impressions online.
