The FBI made numerous serious errors in investigating allegations against former USA Gymnastics national team doctor Larry Nassar, failing to act for months and attempting to cover up the bungling missteps, according to the Justice Department's inspector general.
The watchdog report on Wednesday raises serious questions about how the Justice Department and the FBI handled the case and highlights serious mistakes at the FBI between the time the allegations were first reported until Nassar's arrest.
The inspector general´s investigation was spurred by allegations that the FBI failed to promptly address complaints made in 2015 against Nassar.
USA Gymnastics contacted the FBI about the allegations in July 2015, but it took months before the agency opened a formal investigation.
