Department of Justice Won't Pursue Charges Against FBI Agents in Larry Nassar Case

FBI agents who mishandled the investigation against former United States women's gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar won't be charged.

The United States Justice Department announced on Thursday it won't pursue criminal charges against the agents who failed to quickly investigate after learning in 2015 that Nassar was accused of sexually assaulting female gymnasts.

"This does not in any way reflect a view that the investigation of Nassar was handled as it should have been, nor in any way reflects approval or disregard of the conduct of the former agents," the department said.
