Washington Football Team owner Daniel Snyder filed a motion to search through communications made by former team president Bruce Allen as part of his ongoing defamation case against media outlet MEAWW.
According to Michael Phillips of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Snyder is seeking to find out whether Allen played any role in critical stories written about the organization.
"In the California filing, Snyder's legal team notes that Allen was 'rarely, if ever,' mentioned in the exposes, despite his 'hands-on role in running the Team on a day-to-day basis,'" per Phillips
"It continues: 'This glaring omission raises further questions about Respondent’s possible role in and/or knowledge of the creation, solicitation, drafting and publication of the Defamatory Articles.
