WASHINGTON—The first volleys between the National Football League and a congressional committee seeking to investigate the Washington Football Team emails that got Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden fired—as well as other related documents—show that the congressional probe is likely to be a drawn-out affair.
The House Oversight and Reform Committee indicated last month that it intends to mount an investigation of the leaked emails that were part of an NFL probe into the Washington Football team. The emails showed Gruden making racist and anti gay comments and resulted in his resignation.
