the fbi, u.s. og and u.s. opc set idly by while dozens of girls continue to be molested by larry nasser. according to the oig report, about 14 months after i disclosed my views to the fbi, nearly a year and a half later, the fbi agent who interviewed me in 2015 decided to write down my statement, a statement that the oig report determined to be materially false. by manatt taking immediate action from my report, they allowed a child molester to go free for more than a year. this in action directly allowed nasser's abuse to continue. what is the point of reporting abuse if our own fbi agent's are going to take it upon themselves to bury that report in a drawer? they had legal, legitimate evidence of child abuse and did nothing. if they are not going to protect me, i want to know who are they trying to protect? what's even more upsetting is that we know that these fbi agent have committed an obvious crime. they falsified my statement and that is illegal in itself. get no recourse has been taken against them. the

why would the fbi agents lie to oig investigators? why would the fbi not properly document evidence that was received? why would the fbi agent be interested in the usag presidency? these questions remain unanswered. the survivors of larry nassar have a right to know why their well-being was placed in jeopardy by these individuals who chose not to do their jobs. to date no one from the fbi usopc or usag have faced federal charges other than larry nassar. for many hundreds of survivors of larry nassar, this hearing is one of our last opportunities to get justice. we ask that you do what is in your power to ensure those that engaged in wrongdoing are held accountable under the law. >> thank you, ms. nicholls. >> ms. reisman. >> i want to begin by thanking the judiciary committee including chairman durbin and ranking member grassley for their commitment to seeking the truth for the hundreds, if not thousands, who were systematically abused by larry nassar and for this committee's diligence to demand accountability regarding federal law en

but when i became fbi director and learn there were also people within the fbi who failed, i was heartsick and curious. i ordered a special review to get to the bottom of it. that led in part to the inspector general's own room -- own review, and i am grateful for his extensive independent work. i want to be clear. the actions and inactions of the fbi employees detailed in this report are totally unacceptable. these individuals betrayed the core duty that they have, of protecting people. they failed to protect young women and girls from abuse, in the work we do certainly is complicated and uncertain, and it will never be perfect, but the kinds of fundamental errors made in this case in 2015 and 2000 16 never should have happened, period. i will do everything in my power to make sure they will never happen again. the fbi cannot carry out its final mission of protecting the american people without trust, and in this case, certain fbi agents broke that trust repeatedly and inexcusably, and to pretend otherwise would be yet one more insult to the survivors. failures like the ones that happened

the fbi became an enabler rather than an enforcer. the fbi became part of the problem. not the solution. and i have strongly called for continuing criminal investigation, if necessary, under new jurisdictional issues, because i think justice will be done only if there is accountability here. we have legislated reforms in the u.s. olympic and paralympic committee. we have legislated reforms in safe sports. but we need accountability still. and that is why this hearing should be followed by another, and i believe it will be. it will involve the department of justice coming before our committee and explaining why there has been no criminal prosecution here, despite a referral twice for criminal prosecution by the inspector general. these fbi agents lied on 302 reports, they are internal reports which are essential to criminal prosecutions. their material misstatements and deceptive omissions by fbi agents, in my view, are serious allegations that deserve further investigation. and they lied, apparently, not only there, but also to the inspector general as well. so, let me

but the fbi did nothing. the fbi has had rotten people in their network for years. one of their informant was living with two of the 9/11 hijackers. remember the parkland school shooting in florida? tips came in six weeks before the massacre alerting the fbi that nikolas cruz was a likely school shooter ready to blow. the fbi never followed up on the tip and over a dozen children died. the fbi basically dropped their investigation into the las vegas massacre after a year of wasted time. the shooter shot and killed 60 people at the festival in vegas. the deadliest mass smoothing? u.s. history and the fbi came up empty and when never hear about it. the fbi was also heavily involved in the plot to kidnap governor whitmer. then the lead fbi agent on the case, he was just popped for beating his wife after a swinger's party. what really happened with hunter biden's happen top? the fbi has had it for almost two years. sat on it. nothing. -- "watters' world" doesn't wants to hear apologies or suspensions without pay. we need to clean house. it failed us and nobody pays a pr

langman declined to comment, as did the fbi and the inspector general's office to the paper. >> the fbi's handling of the nassar case is a stain on the bureau. >> reporter: fbi director christopher wray who did not lead the bureau at the time, also, being grilled today. >> what am i missing here? this man is on the loose molesting children and it appears that it's being lost in the paperwork of the agency. >> i share your bewilderment. i share your outrage. and -- and i don't have a good explanation for you. >> reporter: wray apologizing to the victims and vowing to do more. >> it's my commitment to you that i and my entire senior leadership team are going to make damn sure everybody at the fbi remembers what happened here in heartbreaking detail. >> reporter: jean casarez, cnn, capitol hill. >> all right, jean casarez, thank you very much. the fbi director says that he will do more. but what did the doj do when they discovered the false statements and misleading -- and mishandling of their agents? no ink! ugh! i need you to print, i need you. you think you're empty? i'm empty. do you suf

why would the fbi agents lie to oig investigators. why would the fbi not properly document evidence that was received. why would the fbi agent be interested in the usag presidency. these questions remain unanswered. survivors have a right to know why their jeopardy was placed into the well being of these individuals who choz not to do their job. to date no one has faced charges other than larry nassar. this hearing is one of the last opportunities to get justice. we ask that you do what's in your power to engage those in wrong doing are held accountable under the law. >> thank you. >> i want fo begin by thanking the judiciary committee, including chairman durbin and ranking member grassley for their commitment to seeking the truth for the hundreds, if not thousands who were systemically abused by larry nassar and for this committee's diligence to demand accountability regarding federal law enforcement's misconduct. i want to express my gratitude to my friends and teams to share their stories and continue for justice and reform. over t

should it have been the fbi agents -- the fbi director's from 2015 and 2016? did you want to hear from merrick garland, the attorney general? you said comey? caller: comey. comey is very corrupt, it is a known fact. they're not doing this country a favor. this is terrible what is going on. when you have young girls such as those girls, i have seen what they have done to trump. i have seen what they have been doing all along. it is terrible. for these young olympians to have to go through that, imagine what other people will go through with the guy -- with the fbi? but what they did to roger stone . what did he do? was he a criminal? come on. this is terrible. host: more from sally jenkins in her column for the washington post saying, "christopher wray dithered about improving policies and procedures, but it was not the policies or procedures that failed, it was the people in charge. they failed to do their fundamental duty. now merrick garland is failing to do his, joining the list of graying government functionaries who think an agency reputation is more pote

it's not just the fbi. this is something we've seen in churches, in boy scouts and at other universities. >> one of the things that happens repeatedly in this town and elsewhere is as time passes, the urgency of these questions lapses. i hope that is not the case in this case. let's hope the brave testimony we heard from these four athletes today keeps the pressure on. we will continue to follow this, as again, the justice department inspector general is going to face questions from this committee. we'll stay on top of that. >>> also ahead for us today, california governor gavin newsom fends off a recall in landslide fashion. what happens when we welco change? we can make emergency medicine possible at 40,000 ft. instead of burning our past for power, >>> we're back to capitol hill. i told you just moments ago the hearing was -- >> generally familiar with the nassar story shortly after his arrest in 2016. and i remember even then being appalled that there were so many people who had failed to do their jobs

the fbi is taking them. we will continue to conduct our independent oversight to make sure they are implemented. thank you, and i am pleased to answer any questions that you may have. >> thank you very much, inspector general horowitz. and thank you for your excellent work, as usual, in this report. director wray, i have to touch you personally, not only in your official capacity, but even just as a parent, to listen to these young women tell stories of what they have been through. what strikes me here is that doesn't seem to ever have been a sense of urgency or immediacy in that indianapolis field office. the july reporting leading to the september attempt, vain attempt to change venue on the case to lansing, which didn't happen. and then the later report in los angeles and then they sat on it. what am i missing here? this is like a child kidnapping case. this man is son the loose molesting children and it appears that it's being lost in the paperwork of the agency. >> well, needless to say, i share your re

senators say the fbi failed. how must she feel to hear the fbi's own director acknowledge that mistakes were made. those mistakes led to abuse of real people like caylee lorenz. >> and let's go back to director wray because he is talking about what actions have been taken -- excuse me. we've got the i.g. who has taken over. but what director wray was saying, that actions have been taken against some of them. let's listen to the inspector general -- >> showed remarkable bravery in detailing the sexual assaults they endured, at the very same time they were competing at the highest levels for our country. they did so with the belief that their actions would save other young women and girls from the serial abuse they endured. sadly as detailed in our report, the response received by the fbi betrayed their law enforcement responses and their duties to these victims. nassar's abuses could and should have been stopped sooner if appropriate action had been taken. not only did that not occur but after the agents' failures

the firing of one fbi agent does not in itself represent a systemic change within the fbi. what more is wray committed to do? committed to doing rather? >> so, wray is basically making two points. one, that what happened in nasser case was so egregious not just for what needed to change in the bureau, but for what the bureau should be doing normally, and wray believes that what happened in the nasser case should not happen at all based on the procedures and rules, and aly raisman said the same thing in her testimony. he has set out a bunch of guidelines to make this system and investigations involving child sex crimes so that this kind of thing does not happen again, and a lot of what he talked about is that you need more than one person responsible for this, and obviously in this case, the person who is fired this month is taking a lot of the blame for this, but part of wray's point is that you need more than one person looking at these things so that it is not up to one or two people thor important to go nowhere. >> and what about that if the fbi did not have federal jurs

why would the fbi agency lie to investigators? would have be the fbi not properly document evidence that was received? why would the fbi agent be interested in the usag presidency? the survivors of larry nassar had a right to know while their will being was placeed in jeopardy by these individuals who those not to do their jobs. for many happens of survivors of larry nassar this hearing is our last opportunity to get justice. we ask that you do what is in your power to ensure those who engaged in wrongdoing are held accountable under the law. >> thank you. >> [silence]. >> [sighing]. i want to begin by thanking the judiciary committee including the chairman for their commitment to seeking the truth for hundreds if not thousandses who were systematically aboud by larry nassar and this committee's diligence to demand accountable from the federal law enforcement misconduct. i express my gratitude to the other brave survivors here today to continue to press for justice and reform. over the past few years, it's become painfully clear h

after telling my entire story of abuse to the fbi in the summer of 2015, not only did the fbi not report my abuse, but when they eventually documented my report, 17 months later, they made entirely false claims about what i said. after reading the office of inspector general's oig report i was shocked and deeply disappointed as this narrative they chose to fabricate. they chose to lie about what i said and protect a serial child molester rather than protect not only me, but countless others. my story is one in which special agent in charge jay abbott and his subordinates did not want you do hear, and it's time that i tell you. in the summer of 2015, like i said, i was scheduled to speak to the fbi about my abuse with larry nassar over the phone. i was too sick to go meet with anyone in person and talking about this abuse would give me ptsd for days. i chose to speak about it to try to make a difference and protect others. i remember sitting on my bedroom floor for nearly three hours as i told them what happened to me. i hadn't even told my own mother about these facts, but i thought, as

we're learning overnight the fbi agent in charge of that case has been fired, with the fbi director also in the spotlight this morning, in this room, to answer questions about why and why now? we're going to take you live there as we go one on one with the state attorney general who tried to build her own case against nassar. we're live out west and kornacki at the big board on what happens next now that gavin newsom held on to his seat. and new this morning, what we just learned the justice department did to try and block that controversial abortion law in texas. we're taking you live to the pentagon with new fallout from the latest trump book, revealing what joint chiefs chair mark milley said to china, why some republicans are demanding milley step down. we start with the hearing that is happening now behind me at the capitol building on the senate side. good morning to both of you. thank you for being with us. and, ann, let me go to you, here are the four gymnasts we expect to hear from today. simone biles, everybody knows her. mckayla maroney, aly raisman and abbie nichols as well.

something has happened to the fbi. when cops get to more excited about investigating president -- presidential candidates than they do in arrests a man that rapes children something is wrong. this clinton dnc lawyer is accused of lying to the fbi, you are not supposed to do that but the fbi is not supposed to lie to you or botch investigations or puts it finger on the political scales, who gets to police that? here now ken straussal of "wall street journal" editor call board, you are writing about the fbi before it became popular, what did you see before we saw it. >> i think when you step back. we get our leadership from the top of an organization, what did we learn as we watched russia collusion fiasco, arrogance of jim comey, lack of humanitarian ill -- humility of mccabe. there is no way that cannot radiate down to the forces below. i think one thing that remarkable there are a lot of hard working men and women in the fbi who do get things right. but we have too many people in power who got the lessen from the arro

(man) so wh

i've seen them now as fbi director. over the last five years, our folks working with their partners have made 16,000 arrests of people like mr. nassar. that by itself should be deeply troubling and encouraging at the same time. encouraging in the sense that those people are taken off the streets, but deeply disturbing because it gives you a sense of just the sheer scale of this kind of abuse in this country. because i have no doubt for the 16,000 arrests we made, lord knows how many other predators are out there that we didn't get. >> that's staggering to me. thank you very much. >> we have members who have plane schedules and we want to make sure they have a chance. >> thank you, chairman durbin. director wray, it strikes me -- >> i'm ana cabrera in new york. you are listening in to the head of the fbi and the u.s. inspector general of the justice department facing questions from this senate committee. now, their appearance is following powerful, courageous and horrific testimony on capitol hill earlier today. four of

joining us now to discuss, retired fbi special agent jeff lanza, and 25 fbi veteran jane turner who blame a whistle-blower to report the fbi's mishandling of crimes against children. jeff, let's start with the indianapolis field office. the office was told all three females were minors, all three were available to be interviewed, but the indianapolis field office of the fbi only spoke to one victim and they did that on the phone. was this just mishandled from the beginning? i mean, how do you make any sense of that? >> you can't make sense of it, jake. it was mishandled right from that very point. so the fbi has a crimes against children initiative in every field office. and it's just appalling to me, it doesn't make sense to me that if nassar had sent a photo of himself over the internet to a minor, the fbi would've been at his door within a day or two with a search warrant, he would have been under arrest. but yet he's physically abusing people in person, and nothing happens. the initial interview should've been done in person, number one, not telephonically. now, the fbi may not have h

this is important because i told the fbi all of this. and they chose to falsify my report and to not only minimize my abuse, but silence me yet again. >> reporter: simone biles acknowledging the pressure she felt to compete in the tokyo games last summer in order to keep a spotlight on this case. pressure that also led her to withdraw from several events. >> as the lone competitor in the recent tokyo games who is a survivor of this horror, i can ensure you that the impacts of this man's abuse are not ever over or forgotten. i worked incredibly hard to make sure that my presence could maintain a connection between the failures and the competition at tokyo 2020. that has proven to be exceptionally difficult burden for me to carry. >> reporter: after the fbi was made aware of the allegations against nassar in 2015, he continued seeing and abusing patients for more than a year. until former gymnast rachel denhollander went public. >> just after my 13th birthday, he abused me between 10 and 13 times, penetrated me vaginally and 18 ally. >> re

the fbi ought to look into this. here is the data that we think is basically what "the new york times" has, that reporters are about to put out to the public. this has national security implications. here, fib, you should have it. the basis for the prosecution, at least as reported by "the new york times," is that when sussman did that, he told them, i'm handing this over not on behalf of a client. he says that he was doing it on behalf of his cybersecurity client who had dug up this suspicious data in the first place but the suspicion planted by john durham and company was that sussman was secretly representing the hillary clinton campaign. there is reportedly evidence that sussman billed some of his work to the clinton campaign at some point, his large firm was representing the clinton campaign at the time. his lawyers say there is an innocuous explanation for that. here is the key point about this investigation. quote, some of the questions that durham's team have been asking in recent months, including of witness

opc, nor the fbi ever contacted me or my parents. while others have been informed and investigations were ongoing, i have been left to wonder why i was not told until after the rio games. this is the largest case of sexual of these in the history of american sport. although there have been a full independent investigation of the fbi's handling of the case, neither usa g nor usopc have ever been made the subject at the same level of scrutiny. these are the entities entrusted with the protection of our sport and our athletes and yet it feels like questions of responsibility and organizational failure remain unanswered. as you pursue the answers to those questions, i asked that your work be guided by the same question that rachael denhollander and many others have asked, "how much does a little girl work?" i sit before you today to raise my voice so no little girl must endure what i, the athletes at this table, and the countless others who needlessly suffered under nassar's guys a medical treatment. which we continue to endure today. we

they talked to the fbi. and it was buried. of course it was just horrific what happened to them, the sexual abuse, the worse sex abuse scandal in sports history, jim, the worse sex abuse scandal in olympic history. and they tried to do the right thing and the they were silenced and the report was buried. you know, there's power in the platform. here they were today reminding us of the horrors of the last few years. some of us have heard this before, but it's great to hear it again in terms of reminding us of how bad it was and maybe just maybe it helped a kid or two today who watched their heroes, watch simone biles, aly raisman and the others and said, i can speak out. let's hope for that silver lining because otherwise it was a devastatingly harrowing and horrible day on capitol hill. >> these women are making a powerful case against the fbi saying agents mishandled serious allegations, allowed a child abuser's abuse to continue. somebody was fired last week. last week? this is ridiculous. >> it is. and there's a lot of ange
