Now to breaking news, a distraught father trying to attack disgraced sports doctor larry nassar during a court hearing. Sheinelle jones has the latest on this. After weeks of dramatic courtroom confrontations things turned violent in the sentencing hearing of the former usa gymnastics doctor. It comes as the u. S. Olympic committee is coming under fire amid revelations that a top official was made aware of the allegations against larry nassar at least a year before they were made public. We dont want to swear. We dont want to have profanity. Randall margraves is the father of three of dr. Larry nassars victims. The confrontation taking place during nassars sentence hearing this morning in michigan.

The allegations are horrifying, 265 women accusing dr. Larry nassar of unspeakable crimes. But nearly a year before the allegations became public, a top official at the u. S. Olympic committee apparently knew and did nothing. In 2015, the head of usa gymnastics sent an email to larry buendorf, detailing graphic allegations uncovered by a private investigator. A source described the email to nbc news, which read that usa gymnastics has recently been made aware of potential Sexual Misconduct committed against one or more of its National Team athletes which a member of its medical staff. The email goes on to name nassar and describes allegations made from three elite gymnasts. Those unnamed gymnasts have been identified as National Team member Maggie Nichols and olympic gold medalists aly raisman and michaela maroney. According to the memo, maroney reported that nassar might be getting sexual gratification during their encounters. According to a spokesperson for the uoc, he never told anyone else at the committee about the email because he was told not to share it. Nassar pleaded guilty to criminal Sexual Misconduct. This has been so wrenching for the families and for the young girls. Heartbreaking. Thanks, sheinelle.

One of the quintessential super bowl dishes. I wanted to make it more fun. This is where the celery comes into play. Were going to peel this. Mix it in with some radishes for color. And crumbled blue cheese. Some wings and chives and a little vinaigrette. Thats going to be the garnish. And the wings are amazing, supercool, fresh made buffalo sauce. Chili powder and hot sauce. Lets get down to business. Hes already written his mvp acceptance speech. Brian, what have we got over here . Because the patriots have done it so many times, we can finish.

You want to mix . Just mixing. We have a little bit of spinach. Its philly, we have to have some fun. This is ketchup. Good old ketchup. Just like that. We are going to take some brown mustard. Instead of brown sugar, because were pennsylvania, were going to add a little birch beer. It has a good amount of salt and pepper that goes on to there. We come over here and we have provolone and american cheese. Provolone for the great flavor and american for the nice stretch. Were going to build the sandwich just like this. A phillystyle sloppy joe. Carson, you have to try them. I have to get the hot wings here. I mean, this is amazing. Im not interested in that stuff. Oh. Ouch. Fighting words. He says its sloppy like the team. Brutal. Are you feeling deflated over there . Oh. Did you write your acceptance speech, as well . This is a philly deviled d dippy. A devil and a fried quail egg.
