gold medalist simone biles saying that the fbi turned a blind eye to olympic team doctor larry nassar's sexual abuse of hundreds of women. the victims are demanding answers from the fbi. the panel is standing by. the latest on the high-profile missing person case. gaby petito, the long island woman who disappeared during a cross-country road trip with her fiance. we have got in-depth extended special coverage on that including update on where the investigation stands and an interview with gabby 'aunt and uncle. we begin with the upper of the joint chiefs chairman conversation. white house correspondent kevin corke digging into the details. >> sources tell fox news that the two calls made by general milley to his chinese counterpart in the waning days of the trump administration were not in secret. in fact, they say they were conducted with over a dozen people in the room at the time including notetakers. that hasn't tamped down the furor over the calls themselves nor milley's conduct. there are growing calls for his resignation, his removal from his post, and even worse. sources in the

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 the past fi years it's become painfully clear how a survivor's healing is affected by the handling of their abuse. it disgusts me that we're still fighting for the most basic answers and accountable over six years later. in 2015, it was known that at least six national team athletes had been abused by nassar. there was even one of the athletes that was a

nassar. >> to be clear, i blame larry nassar. and i also blame... an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse. >> reporter: olympian simone biles was one of four athletes who painstakingly described being molested by nassar while competing at the highest level. >> i was naked, completely alone with him on top of me, molesting me for hours. >> reporter: gold medalist mckayla maroney says when she told an f.b.i. investigator what happened, she was met with silence. >> after that minute of silence, he asked, "is that all?" those words in itself was one of the worst moments of this entire process for me. >> reporter: her case was one of the first to be referred to the f.b.i. in july 2015, but the bureau failed to properly investigate, according to an internal justice department report, waiting more than a year before opening a formal probe. by then, approximately 70 other young athletes had been assaulted by nassar, who was later convicted. >> the f.b.i. and others within both u.s.a.g., and u.s.o.p.c., knew that nassar mo

police have bolton has details on that hearing to be clear, i blame larry nassar. i also an entire system. that and a book and. perpetrated his views through tearful testimony olympic gold medalist, simone biles reveals the depth of her assault. she mckayla maroney alley raisman and maggie nichols spoke before lawmakers in a congressional hearing. it's a probe into a failed fbi investigation that covered up the abuse of larry nassar. raisman says it took more than 14 months for agents to contact her. it was like serving innocent children up to a pedophile. >> on a silver platter. a july inspector general report shows agents erroneous information and later falsified her testimony fbi u.s. o c and u.s. a g sat idly by as dozens of girls and women continued to be molested by larry nassar. nassar is accused of sexually assaulting hundreds of gymnasts for decades. he's now behind bars convicted on multiple charges. according to a doj report, fbi agents assigned to the case failed to properly investigate made false statements and didn't handle the case with urgency and a

what was stunning is that, yes, larry nassar is in prison for 150 years plus. he will spend the rest of his life in prison, but these women and others sitting behind them who did not testify believe justice is not even close to being served in this case. they have questions about the olympic committee, questions about the fbi. it was stunning to hear each after she made her allegations, even after she knew the investigation was underway that there were other young women, including some sitting in that hearing room who went to dr. nassar because they thought it was cool to have the same doctor as the olympic athletes and those girls were not warned even though the investigation was well underway. >> there's very few points of bipartisan agreement in this town, but you see both sides of the aisle agree that the handling of this investigation was a national tragedy. when you're looking at abuse on this scale, pedophiles, people who sexually abuse children on this scale, it takes a village to enable that, to cover something like this up. this really was about the s

larry nassar and that usa team. think about having raised in your gym a child in your care and coaching, and then to watch this happen. i mean, you talk about collateral damage. there is so much. i do want to say what we're setting up for now. so the director of the fbi, christopher wray and the office of the inspector general, represented by the ig himself, horowitz, will be next, inside that senate judiciary committee. and as they begin to get set, i do want to quickly -- we'll have to go very fast when they walk in the room and start talking. i want to quickly, kayleigh, get your thoughts about what you want to hear from those two. >> kayleigh: we're going to hear a backward looking account of what happened. we anticipate reporting a scathing statement from wray. i think there needs to be a forward look. one of the senators brought forward a very important point. is the fbi equipped to handle sexual abuse cases? you came into a really bad system. what have you done since then to make sure this never happens again

the criminal conduct by larry nassar, unfortunately, was not unique to him, and it was not unique to gymnastics. it was enabled by others, and others have been enabled in this kind of predatory conduct. 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 omiss

amna: more than 250 women and girls accused larry nassar of sexual abuse. he was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison in 2017. should he outlive that, nassar faces up to 175 years in michigan state prison. lawmakers berated the fbi's botched probe, including failing to properly investigate allegations of abuse, first brought to their attention in 2015. >> dozens of young women lay before larry nassar and he did with them what he wanted with trauma and terror that will last a lifetime. that pain was preventable. it was needless. >> if the fbi did so little in the investigation that involved world-class athletes, what hope could an average american have? amna: the fbi's failures were laid out in a july report from the justice department's inspector general. it found fbi field offices failed to formally document a july 2015 meeting with usa gymnastics when the fbi first received allegations against nassar, waited five weeks to conduct a phone interview with one of the athletes who was abused, and failed to reach out to others altogether. and that the specia
