The Virginia attorney general's office will open an investigation into allegations that the Washington Commanders engaged in financial improprieties.

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares told the team he felt it was his "responsibility to carefully examine the material facts after it was brought to my attention."

In the letter addressed to Washington's attorney, Jordan Siev, Miyares requested "full cooperation and transparency" during their inquiry.

"I have not prejudged the issues," Miyares wrote.
