Congress questions Goodell actions on Rice video

WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of Congress from both parties on Wednesday questioned NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s handling of a domestic violence incident involving former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice.

Goodell has insisted the league didn’t see the violent images until this week. After The Associated Press reported that a law enforcement official said he had sent a video of Rice punching his then-fiancee to an NFL executive five months ago, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said news reports suggested a “burgeoning, insurmountable credibility gap” regarding statements by Goodell.
