The NFL and the Washington Football Team, now known as the Washington Commanders, signed a legal agreement that barred either side from disclosing information from the league’s investigation into the team’s workplace, according to a document released Friday by the House Oversight and Reform Committee. 

 

The document — known as a “Common Interest Agreement” — calls into question whether the NFL was being truthful when the league said it could not release a full written report of lead investigator Beth Wilkinson’s investigation in order to protect the anonymity of those participating in the probe, House Democrats said. 

 

The committee said the document shows the league “may not have been able to release the results of the Wilkinson investigation to the public without the permission of team owner Daniel Snyder, who himself has been accused of multiple acts of sexual misconduct by his employees, most recently during yesterday’s committee roundtable.”

 

The Democrats said the agreement also raises concerns about whether Mr. Snyder “played a role in blocking the public release of the findings of Ms. Wilkinson’s investigation.” 

 

They added the agreement gave the NFL or Washington permission to “bury the findings” from the investigation.
