Fbis mishandling of the investigation into the disgraced doctor. Im especially sorry that there were people at the fbi who had their own chance to stop this monster and failed. Norah the Cbs Evening News starts now. Good evening. Im norah odonnell, and thank you for being with us. We do want to begin tonight with that Breaking News of a major settlement between the department of justice and some of the survivors of convicted sex offender larry nassar. Cbs news has learned that the deal is in its final stages, and there are reports the amount could be up to 100 million. And the news comes three years after a department of justice Watchdog Report outlined the fbis mishandling of the case, including how agents were slow to investigate the Abuse Allegations into nassar. He was the former team doctor for the Womens National gymnastics team. Olympic stars simone biles, mckayla maroney, and aly raisman are among the gymnasts who sued the fbi and the settlement, when finalized, could bring total payments over nassars abuse to nearly 1 billion. Cbss Caitlin Hueyburns is going to start us off tonight with this landmark deal. Reporter this settlement could be the final hurdle for justice for some of the top names in gymnastics, abused by former team doctor larry nassar, abuse reported to the fbi and mishandled by the agency for almost a year. I also blame an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse. They allowed a Child Molester to go free for more than a year. Reporter the department of justice is close to a deal that would pay them and around 100 others 100 million, according to the wall street journal. This comes after a 2021 Justice DepartmentInspector General report found the agency failed to respond to the allegations with the utmost seriousness and urgency, and 70 or more Young Athletes were allegedly sexually abused by nassar after the first complaint against him was filed with the the fbi. Rachael denhollander was the first woman to publicly accuse nassar of abuse, though she wont be part of the settlement because her abuse preceded the fbis failures. What does this kind of settlement mean . Im grateful for a measure of accountability. We need to start having the hard questions about how to bring a level of accountability to law enforcement. Its a very big deal. Its the fbi acknowledging they screwed up, and they screwed up big, and that there were real consequences to their actions, or frankly lack of action. Reporter and it is rare for the government to issue a largescale payout like this. It reflects the seriousness of the fbis missteps in this case, and there are reports tonight, norah, that this deal could be finalized within weeks. Norah accountability and justice, so important for these survivors. Caitlin hueyburns, thank you so much.
