Dan Snyder back in the news for all the wrong reasons.

On Thursday, Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder was accused on Capitol Hill of inappropriately touching a female employee at a work dinner, but the NFL owner is vehemently denying the allegation.

Former cheerleader Tiffani Johnston claims Snyder touched her inner thigh under the table, as well as her lower back, during a team dinner.

He also allegedly attempted to convince her into his limo at the end of the evening. Johnston said she tried to report the interaction to a supervisor, but was instructed to keep her mouth shut.

A group of former employees was in D.C. to speak with the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Thursday … and several women broke down in tears describing the harrowing experiences within the organization.

Melanie Coburn — who worked as a cheerleader and in the marketing dept. — claims Snyder hand-picked women to join the team based on their looks, and not talent.

Coburn also claims she was invited to Snyder’s Aspen, Colorado home with other colleagues for an “awards trip” … and after a night out, she was forced to go in the owner’s basement and stay there. She claims another colleague later told her it was due to the men bringing back prostitutes.

Tiffani Johnston — another former cheerleader — claims Snyder touched her inner thigh under the table, as well as her lower back, during a team dinner … and attempted to convince her into his limo at the end of the evening. Johnston said she tried to report the interaction to a supervisor, but was instructed to keep her mouth shut.

A former video production manager — Brad Baker — claims Snyder ordered employees in 2008 to put together an X-rated highlight reel of cheerleaders called the “good bits” … which featured uncensored footage that had not been retouched to exclude accidental nudity.

Ana Nunez — the former coordinator of business development — says her 8 years with the team was filled with fear of being sexually harassed.

Dan Snyder responded to the allegations:

Dan Snyder was probably feeling pretty good after his nickname and uniform reveal…
