Ex-SEC Chair To Investigate Commanders Owner Snyder

NEW YORK (AP) – The NFL has hired former Securities and Exchange Commission chair Mary Jo White to investigate Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder. The basis for the inquiry is an allegation that Snyder sexually harassed a team employee more than a decade ago. The NFL says White will release her findings to the public, unlike the league’s decision to keep results of a previous investigation into the team under wraps. A league spokesman says Commissioner Roger Goodell will determine after the probe “any appropriate action” against Snyder, who last year was fined $10 million after a previous investigation into widespread sexual harassment and mistreatment of women by high-ranking team employees. Snyder also temporarily ceded day-to-day operations of the franchise to his wife, Tanya.
