the gymnasts made it clear -- they blame the fbi, u.s. gymnastics and u.s. olympic and paralympic committee for nassar's abuse for the many women and girls abuse after they complained. >> i don't want another gymnast or athlete or individual to experience the horror i and hundreds of others endured before, during, and continuing to this day in the wake -- of the larry nassar abuse. to be clear -- sorry >> take your time. >> to be clear, i blame larry nassar, and i also blame an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse. >> the gymnast's the come after an inspector general found the fbi botched the investigation into larry

nassar's abuse it found the agency made fundamental errors and failed to interview victims in a timely manner mikayla maroney said larry masser sarted abusing her when she was 13 years old she told fbi agents in excruciating detail what happened, things she never even told her own mother. >> this was very clear cookie cutter ped feill ya and abuse the fbi chose to falsify my report and not only minimize my abuse but silence me yet again i thought given the severity of this situation they would act quickly for the sake of protecting other girls, but instead it took them 14 months to report anything when larry nassarer in my opinion should have been in jail that day the fbi, usoc and usag sat idly by while dozens of women and girls continued to be abused by

larry nassar. >> >> then there's -- she says u.s. gymnastics told her to keep quiet publicly while the fbi investigates and says a thorough investigation never happened. >> i am haunted by the fact that even after i reported by abuse, so many women and girls had to suffer at the hands of larry nassar u.s. gymnastics and the united states olympic and paralympic committee and the fbi have all betrayed me and those abused by larry nassar after i reported. >> the women say they want to see congress take action and for somebody to hold accountable the people responsible. >> all we are asking for is that when a child goes into gymnastics or goes to school or does anything that they can be spared abuse and the fact that we have been treated like adversaries by so many organizations and our abuse has been diminish, we have been victim shamed online over and over again, we have been gas

lit, we have been made to feel that we don't matter by these organizations and i never want another child to feel that way again. >> larry nassar is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison after he pleaded guilty to sexually abusing ten minors in 2018. following the testimony, nbc's leanne caldwell is on capitol hill. >> reporter: it was a gripping and unfortunate testimony today that was pretty extraordinary from these four young women who told about their pain from when they experienced this be the present pain they're going through now to heal from it. aly raisman says she expects it's going to take a couple months to recover just from this hearing today to tell the world about what she experienced but she also said and the other gymnasts said they feel adults in power were actually listening to them and pledging to do something. that's how betrayed they feel

over the past ys years of trying to tell people close to them and in power what happened the gymnast testimony was only one part of the hearing. the second part we heard from the fbi inspector general who had a scathing report about how the fbi handled this case, and we also heard from fbi director christopher wray who came to the hearing to apologize let's listen >> i'm sorry that so many different people let you down over and over again, and i'm especially sorry that there were people at the fbi who had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed, and that is inexcusable. it never should have happened, and we're doing everything in our power to make sure it never happens again. >> it's inexcusable, he says, but what these gymnasts want, what members of congress want are perhaps criminal

prosecutions of the fbi agents who handled this case so poorly and inproperly shepard? >> leanne, thank you. president biden meeting with america's top ceos and business leaders at the white house today. the topic? vaccine mandates the white house pushing the private sector to get more americans to get vaccinated. and the justice department trying to block a texas abortion law. the lawsuit and what we know about the escalating legal fight. former president trump referred to general milley's calls to china as treason. now america's top general's defending himself. what he's saying about those calls, as the president weighs in >> announcer: the facts, the truth, "the news with shepard smith" back in 60 seconds. by treating them right. so we upped the benefits without upping the price. with magenta max, get our best plan for 5g. with unlimited premium data that can't slow down based on how much smartphone data you use.

final days in office he reportedly held a meeting with military officials, telling them, i'm part of the procedure before any order to carry out a nuclear strike critics say milley violated the chain of command and should step down. >> let's go. >> i have great confidence in general milley. >> reporter: great confidence. in a soon to be released book, bob woodward and bob costa write general milley called the chinese mill story to promise them the united states was not going to attack china and he would warn beijing ahead of any sort of attack the book reports general milley was alarm because the chinese government was of the belief that mr. trump was planning a military strike against the chinese to rally voters before the 2020 election. today general milley's spokesman denied any wrong doing and said the meeting was just to review the process. he also said the general regularly calls china to reduce

tensions quoting here -- general milley's calls with the chinese and others in october and january were in keeping with these duties general milley continues to act and advise within his authority in the lawful tradition of civilian control of the military and his oath to the u.s. constitution today marks one month since the taliban seized power and afghanistan and kabul fell the taliban's victory was swift, but governing has turn out to be, well, much harder. there are reports that taliban leaders got into a massive brawl with each other in the presidential palace just last week the taliban's second in command went on television today to show he was still alived after rumors he had been killed in the infighting afghanistan is facing humanitarian and economic disaster food and said to be running out and the united nations are warning 1 million children could starve to death.

at last report, the biden administration says roughly 100 americans are still in the country. michael o'thahnlon. a month ago it fell. are you surprised with how it's gone, including reports there has been less violence in some areas? >> that's it,s the a mixed bag sburk outlined it well when you pointed a tut dire dangers that exist. so there's no cause for celebration, but there has not been nearly as much killing as i could have predicted in a country where the taliban and government were at odds for so long work death tolls in the range each year of 15,000 to 20,000 people. i expected a lot more revenge killing. i expected the taliban to institute a much more severe form of sharia law than they have so far. on the other hand, in humanitarian terms this is still a country at great peril, and the new afghan interim government is just taliban

hardliners, nothing inclusive, no women, no modernists, se secu secularists. even though the amnesty the taliban promised seems to be keeping people alive,s the not giving them any kind of say in the new country. s the a very mixed bag, but still, less bad than i would have predicted one month into taliban rule. >> us a mentioned the leadership still sort of old school taliban. the u.s. and international community haven't recognized the taliban, but they are engaging with them. how do you see this relationship developing >> reporter: you know, so far, again, august was a tragic month. we lost 1 people in the terrible august 26th bombing, but i would have expected it was worse we we got -- americans out. having said all of that, the taliban, you know, did help, but only because i think they know that if they pick a fight with

the united states, we can still come after them, and because they're trying to get this diplomatic recognition, some access to afghanistan's money in foreign bank at cans and some kind of humanitarian aid until those processes play out and we see if we can get to acceptable compromises, it's really just promising first indications rather than meaningful process. >> michael o'hanlon thank you. it's one of the deadliest terror attacks the western world has ever seen, and now one of the suspects on trial says the slaughter of 120 innocent people in the streets of paris in 2015 was nothing personal salah abdelslam said the coordinating killings was pay back they say he was the sole survivor from a group of gunman and suicide bomberers. they targeted the stadiums and
