The NFL has taken over the independent investigation into workplace conduct within the Washington Football Team, a person familiar with the situation said Monday. The law firm of Katz, Marshall and Banks LLP sent a letter to Goodell on Thursday asking the league to launch its own investigation. “Our clients would gladly participate in such an NFL investigation but do not feel safe speaking to investigators hired by Mr. Snyder and do not trust the investigation that is currently underway," Banks and Katz wrote in the letter. “We are pleased and encouraged that the league is taking this matter seriously and we expect that it will take appropriate action against Daniel Snyder and the Washington Football Team upon conclusion of the investigation," they said. Snyder vowed to change the culture inside the organization amid 42 women speaking out about their experiences working for Washington.
