A newly declassified DOJ OIG report reveals that the FBI under James Comey failed to thoroughly investigate Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and mishandling of classified information, with key evidence overlooked and a lack of due diligence, contrasting with the FBI's aggressive investigation of Trump-Russia collusion. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley criticizes the FBI's negligent approach and calls for further review of the national security implications.
The Justice Department is in the final stages of negotiating a settlement with attorneys representing 100 victims of Larry Nassar, the former U.S. gymnastics team doctor, over FBI misconduct in investigating abuse allegations. The potential deal could involve tens of millions of dollars to resolve claims that the FBI failed to properly investigate Nassar's abuse. The settlement, if finalized, would address tort claims filed against the DOJ and FBI in 2022 by athletes and patients, including high-profile figures like Simone Biles and Aly Raisman. The FBI's failure to act on reports of Nassar's behavior allowed him to abuse more girls and women, leading to a push for damages totaling around $1 billion. Nassar is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence for his crimes.
