US: US gymnasts offer scathing assessment of FBI (Includes video)
Hill – September 15, 2021
Star U.S. gymnasts offered stark criticism Wednesday of the FBI’s handling of its investigation into sexual assault and harassment in the U.S. gymnastics program, prompting criticism from lawmakers of the Department of Justice. The hearing comes several months after the Department of Justice’s inspector general released a report detailing the failures of the FBI’s Indianapolis field office while responding to allegations against disgraced gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, who was sentenced to prison in 2018. The report found that FBI agents failed to follow up on allegations against Nassar, and made false and misleading statements in documents and in describing their actions to the inspector general.
