Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder offered to testify via video before House Oversight Committee in July, letter says

Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder offered to testify via video conference before the House Oversight Committee in late July, according to a letter his attorney sent to Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney on Thursday. But, his attorney stated, they have yet to hear from the committee about the dates they submitted.

In the letter obtained by ESPN, Snyder's attorney, Karen Patton Seymour, told Maloney (D-New York) that she has not heard from the committee since a June 30 phone call to discuss Snyder's conflicts on other proposed dates for a deposition. The committee had offered for Snyder to be interviewed remotely on July 6 or 8, according to the letter, and Seymour wrote that she offered July 28 or 29.

The House is in session until July 29 and will be off in August.

The committee has been investigating Washington's workplace culture since October.

«We remain committed to securing Mr. Snyder's testimony on the toxic work environment at the Washington Commanders following his failure to appear voluntarily at the Committee's hearing and his continued refusal to allow his attorney to accept service of a subpoena,» a committee spokesperson told ESPN in a statement Thursday. «We are continuing to negotiate with his counsel to ensure the Committee can obtain the full and complete testimony we need, and we are reviewing her latest correspondence.»

The committee is trying to serve Snyder with a subpoena to testify, but a spokesperson for the committee said last week that his lawyer has not yet accepted it. The sides continue to negotiate the terms under which Snyder would testify.

Seymour said that Snyder planned to be in Israel for «much of July» and «into August» to observe the one-year anniversary of his mother's death. Seymour
