Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder has "refused to accept service” of a subpoena to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, the committee said in a statement Monday.
The committee had requested to hear from Snyder and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell at last Wednesday's public hearing regarding allegations of a toxic workplace within the Commanders organization. Only Goodell attended the hearing, which the committee titled "Tackling Toxic Workplaces: Examining the NFL’s Handling of Workplace Misconduct at the Washington Commanders." Snyder's attorney, Karen Patton Seymour, said Snyder was out of the country on business and unable to attend.
As a result, committee chairwoman Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney announced her intent to subpoena Snyder in order to compel his testimony on the matter. According to the committee, Snyder appears unwilling to comply.
