wray did not oversee the fbi during the nassar investigation, but he was pressed on why nassar was nottopped sooner. >> i don't have a good explanation for you. it is utterly jarring to me. it is totally inconsistent with what we train our people on. >> reporter: horowitz confirming the fbi agents who handled maroney's case lied during his investigation. >> what we do at that point is make the referral to prosecutors, to assess them, because that's who needs to make the decision wloor there will be charges brought. >> reporter: nassar was indicted december 2016 on federal child pornography charges. as lawsuits piled up against him. >> how do you plead? >> guilty. >> reporter: nassar pled guilty to seven counts of first degree criminal sexual assault on ten girls. three of those charges involving victims under the age of 13. the testimony from 156 women and girls who confronted their monster in court at a sentencing hearing was the first time the world heard the full extent of nassar's depravity. >> you are pure evil. >> without my knowledge or consent, i had engaged in my first sexual

they were as guilty as larry nassar himself. i don't know how the politicians are all involved and now they are going to save the day and they care so much. they have things going on in their own chambers with young children. host: you mentioned christopher wray who took over the at the i in 2017. he did testify yesterday -- took over the fbi in 2017. he did testify yesterday. here's part of his testimony. [video clip] >> good morning. on behalf of the entire fbi, i want to begin by saying to the brave women who testified this morning, and i gathered there were some others here today who were among the many whom larry nassar hurt deeply. i am profoundly sorry to each and every one of you. i'm sorry for what you and your families have been through. i am sorry that some many different people let you down over and over again. i am especially sorry that there were people at the fbi who had their own chance to stop this monster and 2015 and failed -- this monster in 2015 and failed. that is inexcusable and we are doing everything in

this inaction allowed nassar's abuse to continue. of reporting abuse if our own fbi agents are going to take it upon themselves to bury that report in drawer? they had legal, legitimate evidence of child abuse and did nothing. if they're not going to protect me, i want to know who are they trying to protect? what's even more upsetting to me is that we know that these fbi agents have committed an obvious crime. they falsified my statement and that's illegal in itself. no recourse has been taken against them. the department of justice refuse to prosecute these individuals. why? deputy attorney general lisa monoco couldn't bring herself to be here today. it's the department of justice job to hold them accountable pm i'm tired of waiting for people to do the right thing because my abuse was enough and we deserve justice. these individuals clearly violated policies and were negligent in executing their duties and in doing so more girls were abused by larry nassar for over a year. to not indict the agents is a disservice to me and my teamm

this inaction directly allowed nassar's abuse to continue. what is the point of reporting abuse if our own fbi agents 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're not going to protect me, i want to know who are they trying to protect? >> it is clear from the testimony they believe that there were too many men involved in this and that the men were not taking them seriously and that competitive pressures, that maybe there were people on the olympic committee that maybe had a too cozy relationship with the fbi that did not want to blow this up and hold dr. nassar accountable because of the impact on competitiveness, right? >> reporter: there are so many questions as to why would you, according to the report, intentionally cover this up? we know from the report that steve penny, the head of usa gymnastics along with jay abbott, the head of the fbi in indianapolis met at a bar. jay abbott started talking about nassar. then he said, you know, i'm

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

larry nassar. usa gymnastics and the fbi betrayed me and all of those abused by larry nassar after i reported. this is well documented in the report. my family and i were told by the former president to keep quiet and not say anything that could hurt the fbi investigation. we know there was no real fbi investigation occurring. while my complaints with the fbi and larry nassar continued to abuse women and girls. the fbi issued no search warrants and made no arrests. from the day i reported by molestation by larry nassar i was treated differently byusag. they allowed larry nassar a chance to retire with his reputation intact. as the inspector general's report detailed. fbi agents failed to report to proper authorities and the speck agency in charge was seeking to become the new direct of security for the olympics. afterwards the fbi agents lied to the investigators about what happened. this conduct by these fbi agency including the special agent in charge who are expected to protect the public is una

nassar found more than 100 new victims to molest. it was like serving innocent children up to a pedophile on a silver platter. why did none of these organizations warn anyone? usag and usopc have a long history of enabling abuse by turning a blind eye. both organizations knew of nassar's abuse long before it became public, although you wouldn't know that by reading their press releases which would have you and their corporate sponsors believe that athlete safety comes first. we have called for a fully independent, factual investigation for years now because i and these women who sit before you know firsthand these organizations and their public statements are not to be trusted. they claim they want accountability but then seek to restrict which staff can be interviewed, which documents can be examined and claim attorney-client privilege over and over again. the so-called investigations these organizations orchestrated were not designed to provide the answers we so critically need. why are we left to guess why usag and usopc did not r

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 -- larry nassar in u.s. gymnastics or sports more broadly. it is hard to believe this is the first time there has been a failing of this scale, governor -- given what you just said about the 16,000 arrests. we know that the horror of child sexual abuse is far more widespread in this country and around the world than any of us would like to see. so, mr. horowitz, do you think there is a pressing need? who would be the appropriate entity to conduct that? what advice do you have on respecting her request to this committee? mr. horowitz: the reason we could do a report like this is because the statute to authorities we have been given by congress make us independent. picking up on something aly raisman said was very perceptive. who is funding the oversight? as you know, back in 2008, we were given an independent budget line so our budget is not coming from the justice department but being sent by an independent appropriated. i do not know with the oversight mechanisms are currently on u.s. sc and the other entities. i did have a chance to talk wi
