House Oversight Committee blasts Snyder as ‘afraid’ to testify

The House Oversight and Reform Committee accused Dan Snyder of being “afraid” to testify Monday after the Washington Commanders owner again chose not to accept the panel’s invitation to this week’s scheduled hearing on the team’s workplace misconduct allegations.

Mr. Snyder, in a letter through his lawyer, responded Monday to committee Chair Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, who urged last week in a letter that the embattled billionaire reconsider his decision to not appear before the committee.

In Ms. Maloney’s letter, sent Friday, the New York Democrat gave Snyder the option of appearing remotely and tried to address concerns.
