US: Senate Judiciary Committee to hold oversight hearing on FBI dereliction of duty in Nassar investigation (Includes video)
WILX – July 15, 2021
The Senate Committee on the Judiciary (commonly called the Senate Judiciary Committee) is a group of 22 U.S. Senators tasked with overseeing the Department of Justice. In light of recent revelations about the FBI’s handling of the Larry Nassar investigation the committee, lead by Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, has announced that it will hold oversite hearings on what was described as “the FBI’s dereliction of duty” in the investigation. “The FBI’s failure in this case led to more athletes being victimized. This Committee has the responsibility of oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation-and will hold a hearing to examine this injustice and to prevent future, similar tragedies,” Durbin said.
