Statement of Christopher A. Wray, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation before the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, at a Hearing Entitled “Dereliction of Duty: Examining the Inspector General’s Report on the FBI’s Handling of the Larry Nassar Investigation”
Statement of Christopher A. Wray, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation before the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, at a Hearing Entitled “Dereliction of Duty: Examining the Inspector General’s Report on the FBI’s Handling of the Larry Nassar Investigation”Good morning, Chairman Durbin, Ranking Member Grassley, and Members of the Committee.
Thank you for the opportunity to appear today to discuss the Office of Inspector General’s (“OIG”) report of its Investigation and Review of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Handling of Allegations of Sexual Abuse by Former USA Gymnastic Physician Lawrence Gerard Nassar. I want to make clear at the outset that the actions and inaction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) employees in 2015 and 2016 described in the report are inexcusable, and a discredit to this organization and the values we hold dear. I want to offer my apologies, sympathy, and support to the survivors and their families.
The FBI fully accepts the OIG’s recommendations and has already begun implementing corrective actions in response to them, to ensure the failures described in the report never happen again. Our Office of Professional Responsibility is reviewing the OIG’s findings to adjudicate appropriate discipline for any current FBI employees who engaged in misconduct. We are enhancing our policies, procedures, and training to ensure that serious allegations of abuse are treated with the utmost urgency and care.
