Washington, D.C., Attorney General Karl A. Racine announced Thursday his office is filing a consumer protection lawsuit against the NFL, Roger Goodell, the Washington Commanders and Dan Snyder.

Racine said the lawsuit stems from accusations all four parties colluded to deceive D.C. residents about the investigation into a toxic workplace culture within the Commanders organization.

According to Mark Maske and Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post, Racine's office will also seek a court order to force the NFL to release its findings of the investigation carried out by attorney Beth Wilkinson about the Commanders' workplace.

Racine said Thursday his office will issue subpoenas, and the depositions are "not likely to occur on a yacht, but in a conference room in the District of Columbia."

The comment was a reference to when Snyder gave testimony to a congressional committee investigating allegations of the Commanders' toxic workplace. He initially avoided testifying by taking his personal yacht to Europe, making him unable to be reached.

After word got out last night that Racine's office would hold a "major press conference" related to the organization, a Commanders spokesperson released a widely condemned statement that used running back Brian Robinson's shooting from August to criticize "out-of-control violent crime" in the city.
