House Oversight Committee asks Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder to reconsider not testifying at hearing

The House Oversight Committee chairwoman implored Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder to reconsider his decision not to testify at a hearing next week, also saying Snyder's reasons for rejecting their invitation were based on inaccuracies.

Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) sent a six-page letter to Snyder's attorney, Karen Patten Seymour, saying Snyder could testify virtually at the June 22 hearing, like NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will do. Maloney gave Snyder 9 a.m. Monday deadline to change his mind after what she termed were "additional accommodations."

Congress started investigating Snyder in October, approximately four months after the NFL concluded its own investigation.
