The Commanders and their embattled owner, Dan Snyder, are at the center of yet another controversy.
The U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Virginia has opened a criminal investigation into the Washington organization over allegations it engaged in financial improprieties, according to an ESPN report. The inquiry was launched after the House Committee on Oversight and Reform sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission and several attorneys general in April, per the report.
The revelation of the investigation came on the same day Snyder and his wife, Tanya, announced they have hired Bank of America Securities “to consider potential transactions” for the franchise.
A spokesperson for the Commanders had no comment on the potential criminal investigation and instead provided ESPN a statement from the team’s attorney, John Brownlee of Holland & Knight, who denied any wrongdoing.
