NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has asked former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III to lead an investigation into the league’s “pursuit and handling of evidence in the Ray Rice domestic violence incident,” the New York Times reports.
The news comes just two days after graphic video surfaced, showing the running back knocking his fiancee unconscious.
The investigation will be overseen by John Mara, the co-owner of the Giants, and Art Rooney II of the Steelers, both of whom are lawyers.
Goodell said he plans to give Mueller full access to NFL records.
On Wednesday, the Associated Press reported that the video had been seen by NFL executives long before this week.
