DOJ Nears $100M Settlement with Larry Nassar Victims Over FBI Failures

The United States government is close to finalizing a settlement with about 100 victims of former USA Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar, resolving claims that the FBI failed to properly investigate allegations of abuse. The settlement, which could total nearly $1 billion, comes after a Department of Justice inspector general report found that the FBI mishandled the Nassar case. This potential settlement would likely resolve the victims' claims against the federal government, and follows previous settlements with Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics.
