The unnamed official told the AP Thursday that he sent the video of Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancée to NFL security chief Jeffrey Miller.

The official, who was not named, told the AP he sent the video to NFL security chief Jeffrey Miller. The official also said the only response he got from the NFL was a voice message from a woman saying the league offices had received the video. He did not know if Miller ever watched the video.
The report potentially contradicts the NFL's claims that league officials didn't see the video until it was made public in September by TMZ.
Miller issued this statement to BuzzFeed News:
"I unequivocally deny that I received at any time a copy of the video and I had not watched it until it was made public on September 8."
