Published | Video Starts at 10:41

Let's do an investigation. The WNBA, I think, has violated the law and the Department of Justice at the very least should investigate. Have you talked to your investigations committee chair about hearings? I have not yet. It's a possibility possibility you would await what the Justice Department does. (10:41–10:51)

CLAIM
