Global law firm Reed Smith offered hush money to the victims and critics of Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder during an NFL investigation into decades of sexual harassment and bullying at the team, according to a report released Thursday by the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Oversight and Reform.

The report contradicted a December 2021 statement made by Snyder’s lawyer, A. Scott Bolden of Reed Smith, in which Bolden told the Washington Post “absolutely no effort was made by me or any Reed Smith lawyers to dissuade anyone from speaking with Beth Wilkinson or otherwise cooperating with her investigation, nor was any money offered to anyone not to cooperate.”
