Voice publicly in court as well about the abuse that you survived. i have to tell you that watching you confront larry nassar overcoming any hesitation or fear that you might have had about telling your story, thats courage. and its inspiring, and im curious what it takes for you to do that, to do what we saw your fellow survivors do yesterday. >> its an incredible burden to carry. and thats really why i wrote my book, what is a girl worth. i want people to understand what its like to have to sp...

Thank you very much for being with us and thank you. you were such a groundbreaking, you know, person, survivor here, and you made it possible for those other women who followed you. what was your reaction to their testimony yesterday? >> i am incredibly proud of the athletes who testified yesterday, but it is also gut-wrenching to be faced over and over and over again with the systemic failure that led to this abuse and what we saw yesterday, the abject failure of law enforcement and gross negl...

Andrea and angela had secured a plea deal that left larry in jail for the rest of his life and secured the right of all of us to speak. we have the ability to stop sexual abusers. we have the ability to protect our children and the question is whether or not we will have law enforcement and prosecutors to our systems to keep them accountable for the actions that they take and well trained and equipped to do when theyre supposed to be doing. >> and the fbi director chris wray who was not a part o...

Offended by this. you saw klobuchar talk about maggie nichols. you saw cornyn talk directly to simone biles. he feels for all of them but particularly so proud of biles. so much that was shared. i gotta ask, is wrag? the horowitz in trouble? somebodys got to pay for this. >> emily: somebody has got to pay for this. allie said one statement that stuck out to me. we knew of the six accusers. he said one of the athletes was abused on film giving our abusers unfettered access to children. that shoul...

I ask you please do all that is in your power to ensure that these individuals are held responsible and accountable for ignoring my initial report, for lying about my initial report, and for covering up for a child molester. >> this is arguably the biggest scandal in the history of athletics. a justice department inspector generals review found fbi officials investigating the allegations against nassar violated multiple policies by failing to properly document complaints about the abusers or by ...
