Trump himself indicated at the time that he wanted less testing.

For more than two decades, Dan Snyder refused to protect the women who worked for him from the toxic culture he created.

I believe it is up to Congress to protect them and millions more like them.

Some have argued that protecting women isn't worthy of this Committee's time. I strongly disagree.

Let me also assure my colleagues that we can protect workers while also making progress on other important issues.

The issue of sexual harassment is one of the most prominent--in one of the prominent and respected workplaces in this country and a cover-up on behalf of a powerful owner should matter to all of us.

Sexual assault should not be tolerated. But when it does occur, it is imperative that swift and immediate action be taken to stop the abuse, prevent it from occurring, and address its effects.

Some of my colleagues across the aisle have suggested that our investigation into workplace misconduct at the NFL is a waste of time. I strongly disagree.

Last week, along with many of my colleagues, we introduced two bills to ensure that employers like Dan Snyder cannot abuse nondisclosure agreements to silence employees and cannot film their employees and use it, use the films without their consent.

Mr. Snyder has not been held accountable. His refusal to testify sends a clear message that he is more concerned about protecting himself than coming clean with the American people.

If the NFL is unwilling or unable to hold Mr. Snyder accountable, then I am prepared to do so. That is why I am announcing now my intent to issue a subpoena for the testimony of Mr. Snyder for a deposition next week.
