It was inevitable that the United States Congress would inject themselves into the Ray Rice/Roger Goodell saga. 

12 members of the House Judiciary Committee have sent a signed letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell demanding he 'fess up.  Obtained by TMZ, the letter calls out Goodell for his comments on how he requested the video of Rice punching his fiancee but never got it. 

Refusing to accept Goodell's excuse, the Committee wrote, “To our knowledge the public has not been informed as to specifically how and in what context the request was made, and specifically how relevant law enforcement responded."

As reported by TMZ, Goodell's request for the video was to law enforcement only and not the casino, which would have given him the video.

The letter continues, “Nor has there been a full explanation as to whether the video was requested of others, such as Mr. Rice's attorney or the casino where the incident occurred (and if not, why not), or whether any employees, agents, or consultants of the league or any of its teams outside of your office had access of the video prior to September 8."
