Former Washington Commanders vice president Jason Friedman has filed suit in Virginia against the team and one of its attorneys, John Brownlee, on a defamation claim.

He testified before Congress last year alleging financial improprieties by the Washington Commanders.

Friedman, who filed the 15-page suit in the civil division of Loudoun County District Court on July 7, asked for $7.5 million in compensatory damages and another $350,000 in punitive damages, in addition to fees incurred.

He also asked for a jury trial.
