The Washington Post's Will Hobson and Liz Clarke reported that Daniel Snyder enlisted his attorneys and private investigators to interfere with the investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment against the organization.
According to a report in the New York Times, Wilkinson, who was retained by the NFL when it took over the investigation, learned of a sexual harassment allegation against the quarterback that had been settled for over a million dollars.
The former team employee who accused the team's owner of sexual harassment was trying to interview her when she was offered additional money if she didn't speak to anyone.
The phone calls to Sullivan from the lawyers of the accused were described in court. The woman's attorneys have denied that they tried to block the interview.
It is not the only instance in which the organization is being investigated by the league. His lawyers filed petitions in federal court seeking to identify former employees who had spoken to the Post, an effort one federal judge suggested was intended to burden and harass former employees who had spoken to reporters.
According to the former employees and their attorneys, private investigators hired by the team showed up at the homes of several former employees or contacted their friends and relatives in order to discourage them from participating in the investigation.
The latest reports raise more questions about the league's decision to keep the findings of the investigation confidential.
While leaked emails have cast a negative light on former WFT President Bruce Allen and led to the firing of Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden, the league's decision to fine the organization $10 million and bar the team's owner from "day-to-day" team activities has
The emails spared Snyder any embarrassment while damaging the reputation of Allen, who is one of the team's perceived enemies.
