The United States government and victims of former USA Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar are close to finalizing a deal that will resolve claims by abuse victims that the FBI failed to properly investigate allegations of wrongdoing against the doctor, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.The final dollar amount is not yet completely finalized as discussions between the parties could continue, CBS News has learned.
'He was seeing 8 to 10 patients a day, sometimes 15, and molesting little girls,' John Manly, one of the attorneys representing Nassar's survivors, told 'CBS Mornings' in 2022 of Nassar's actions. The victims collectively filed a lawsuit in 2022 against the FBI alleging negligence and wrongdoing. Any final settlement in this case would likely resolve the victims' claims against the federal government.
