Dan Snyder tried to prevent a woman who accused him of sexual misconduct from speaking with D.C. attorney Beth Wilkinson as part of her investigation into the Washington Football Team last year, according to a report.

Wilkinson learned of the 2009 allegation shortly after she began her investigation into the WFT. According to the Washington Post, when Wilkinson tried to interview the former team employee, Snyder's attorneys worked to prevent that from happening.

In its story Tuesday, the Post reported that Snyder's attorneys had offered the woman more money to maintain her silence. The woman's attorney, according to the Post, wrote a letter to Snyder's lawyers that was filed in federal court about the attempt to block Wilkinson from speaking to her.
