Lawyers for more than 40 former Washington Commanders employees are demanding that House Republicans remove 'sexualized and salacious photographs' of the NFL team's cheerleaders featured in a GOP-written memo about the football team.
from the Democratic-led committee published the following day, which alleged that dozens of Commanders employees were harmed for more than two decades because of a"toxic work culture."
The GOP's inclusion of the photos was a"desperate effort," the employees' attorneys wrote, to protect team owner Daniel Snyder from the scathing findings in that reportThe lawyers are asking that the photos be removed from congressional servers, websites and, if applicable, the Congressional Record. Republicans released the 210-page memo last week that featured explicit photos of the former cheerleaders. Their lawyers said Tuesday that the images,"which show women’s breasts, buttocks and genital areas, were disseminated without the women’s permission.
“Our report tells the story of a team rife with sexual harassment and misconduct, a billionaire owner intent on deflecting blame, and an influential organization that chose to cover this up rather than seek accountability and stand up for employees. To powerful industries across the country, this report should serve as a wake-up call that the time of covering up misconduct to protect powerful executives is over.”Michael Kosnar is a Justice Department producer for the NBC News Washington Bureau.
