Washington Leaders owner Daniel Snyder reiterated his refusal to participate in a June 22 congressional hearing on the team’s workplace via a letter from his attorney on Monday.

In the letter, Snyder did not close the door to speaking to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform about where the team operates, but made it clear that he would only do so if certain conditions were met.

The two-page letter from Attorney Karen Patton Seymour, who is representing Snyder on the matter, to Representative Carolyn B. abroad.” He also reiterates his concerns about “basic notions of justice and due process.”

In response, a commission spokesperson noted that the commission “was more than accommodating” in several respects, including allowing Snyder to testify remotely from France.

“The commission will not be deterred in its investigation into the reality of workplace misconduct by Washington’s leaders,” the spokesman said in a statement.

The NFL declined to comment Monday on Snyder’s latest rejection.

The commission began its investigation into the leaders’ workplace and the NFL responded in October. After eight months of fact-finding, the commission considers Snyder’s testimony necessary and believes it should be available.

If he refuses to do so voluntarily, Maloney can issue a subpoena to compel him to testify. The ongoing discussion about what facilities will and will not be provided represents an attempt to find a compromise less than a subpoena.

As a result of the investigation, Maloney last week introduced legislation to curb the abuse of non-disclosure agreements and non-swap agreements and create new employee protections in all workplaces.
