Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder reportedly offered a seven-figure payment to a woman last year in an attempt to prevent her from speaking with NFL investigators about sexual assault allegations she made against him.
According to ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr., Seth Wickersham and Tisha Thompson, the woman's lawyer, Brendan Sullivan Jr., said Snyder's attorneys offered his client a "substantial sum" of money in the seven figures in exchange for confidentiality.
The woman "flatly rejected" the offer and subsequently spoke to U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White, who is conducting an investigation into Snyder and the Commanders on behalf of the NFL.
