Washington Commanders Hindering Access to Investigation Documents, NFL Tells Congress

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league as a whole have received criticism for not publicly releasing the findings of an investigation into the Washington Commanders' team culture, but the league said in a letter to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform that the team is blocking access to some of the documents pertaining to the investigation.

Mark Maske and Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post reported Thursday that the letter was sent to Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), who sent Goodell a letter in October seeking more transparency into the investigation.
