Report: Dan Snyder’s Attorneys, PIs Attempted to Interfere With NFL’s WFT Probe

Washington Football Team owner Daniel Snyder reportedly enlisted his attorneys and private investigators to interfere with investigator Beth Wilkinson's probe into allegations of workplace misconduct and sexual harassment against the organization, per Will Hobson and Liz Clarke of the Washington Post.

Wilkinson, who was originally hired by Snyder but retained by the NFL when it took over the investigation, had reportedly learned of a sexual misconduct allegation made against Snyder that had been settled in 2009 for $1.6 million.

Wilkinson attempted to interview the former team employee who accused Snyder, which Snyder's attorneys reportedly tried to prevent by offering the woman additional money if she wouldn't speak to anyone about her allegations and original settlement.
