Critical Report on FBI's Failure to Investigate Larry Nassar to Come Wednesday
WASHINGTON—The Justice Department’s inspector general is set Wednesday to release a report that is highly critical of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s failure in 2015 to investigate allegations that former national gymnastics team physician Larry Nassar sexually assaulted athletes, according to people familiar with the report.
The Inspector General’s investigation, which began in 2018, focused initially on claims that FBI agents in at least two field offices failed to respond to national team gymnasts’ complaints about Nassar in summer of 2015, the Wall Street Journal previously reported. For more than a year, those complaints went largely unexplored, as Nassar continued to see patients.
People familiar with the report anticipate it will shed light on the bureau’s mishandling of a sensitive multi-jurisdictional investigation that involved some of the most prominent U.S. sports stars.
Key senators including Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, and Jerry Moran, a Kansas Republican, will be personally briefed by Inspector General Michael Horowitz on the report Wednesday afternoon, senior aides said.
