Olympians Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, and McKayla Maroney will testify before Congress at a hearing on the FBI's "dereliction of duty" in the Larry Nassar sexual abuse case, the Senate Judiciary Committee announced on Monday.
The Senate Judiciary Committee said gymnast Maggie Nichols, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, and FBI Director Christopher Wray will also be testifying.
In July, Horowitz released a 119-page report in which he said the FBI's Indianapolis field office "failed to respond to the Nassar allegations with the utmost seriousness and urgency that they deserved and required."
Biles, Maroney, Raisman, and Nichols are among hundreds of women who say they were sexually abused by Nassar during what he claimed were routine medical exams.
Nassar, who once served as a doctor for USA Gymnastics, was sentenced in 2018 to 175 years in prison for sexually abusing multiple girls and women under the guise of medical treatment. Even after his sentencing, Nassar said that his "treatment" was "done for a medical purpose, not for his own pleasure," according to a report from the Michigan Attorney General's Office.
Biles opened up about the abuse she faced from Nassar in 2018. This year, she said it "could have" impacted her performance in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, in which she withdrew from several events.
"Now that I think about it, maybe in the back of my head, probably, yes, because there are certain triggers you don't even know, and I think it could have," she told "TODAY" host Hoda Kotb as the Olympics concluded.
