Report: Washington owner Dan Snyder tried to block interview with ex-employee who accused him of sex

Report: Washington owner Dan Snyder tried to block interview with ex-employee who accused him of sexual misconduct

Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder tried to prevent a woman who accused him of sexual misconduct from speaking with D.C. attorney Beth Wilkinson as part of her investigation into the franchise last year, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

The Post reported that Wilkinson learned of the 2009 allegation shortly after she began her investigation. According to the Post, when Wilkinson tried to interview the former team employee, Snyder's attorneys worked to prevent that from happening.


A. Scott Bolden of the law firm Reed Smith, which represents Snyder and the team, released a statement in response to the Post's story that said, "Untrue. It did not happen. Absolutely no effort was made by me or any Reed Smith lawyers to dissuade anyone from speaking with Beth Wilkinson or otherwise cooperating with her investigation, nor was any money offered to anyone not to cooperate. Anyone suggesting something to the contrary is lying."

Added Krishnamoorthi: "Snyder will stop at nothing. To get to the bottom of this story, [the] NFL must immediately turn over all evidence of Snyder's interference and the other documents we requested over a month ago.''

made me thought he was being forced to give an interview by the women who accused him of sexual harassment. I thought maybe she was a reporter. Until I read the article that’s what I thought.

Do newspapers do this on purpose?
