US gymnasts Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Maggie Nichols and Aly Raisman are testifying before Congress about what they say were failures in FBI's handling of the sexual abuse case against former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar.
Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles cried this morning as she told a Senate committee that the FBI and gymnastics officials turned a blind eye to USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar's sexual abuse of her and hundreds of other women.
Biles says USA Gymnastics and the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee knew that she was abused by their official team doctor.
The US Congress wants to hold the FBI accountable for its errors in investigating the case, including the delays that let Nassar abuse at least 40 other young gymnasts after the bureau was made aware of the problem.
