The U.S. House Oversight Committee announced plans to subpoena Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder for his testimony next week despite NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s testimony before the panel on Wednesday that the league thoroughly investigated accusations into the organization’s toxic workplace culture and took the appropriate disciplinary actions.

Goodell offered his testimony before the Committee following its eight-month investigation in which it found Snyder played a significant role in fostering a toxic work environment and pointed to evidence that suggested he impeded the NFL’s independent probe into those allegations.

"The committee launched an investigation last October after the NFL refused to release the findings of an internal investigation into the widespread sexual misconduct at the Washington commanders," Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, said in her opening statements. 

"The committee requested these findings, but the NFL and the commanders have refused to produce them, while also withholding more than 40,000 documents collected in their internal review. This lack of transparency suggests that rather than protecting women, the NFL is hoping to sweep this controversy under the rug just as powerful men like owner Dan Snyder have done for decades."
