The U.S. attorney's office in the Eastern District of Virginia has opened a criminal investigation with a focus on several areas of the team, according to ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr.

The investigation was reportedly triggered by a letter from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform to the Federal Trade Commission in April, after the committee said it received evidence of the Commanders underreporting ticket revenue to the NFL and withholding security deposit money from fans.
