stopped. here is simone biles. i asked that your work be guided by the same question that rachel denhollander and many others have asked. how much is a little girl worth? i sit before you today to raise my voice to that no little girl must endure what i, the athletes at this table, and the countless others who needlessly suffered under nassar s guise of medical treatment which we suffer and continue to suffer because no one in the fbi, usag or the usopc did what was necessary to protect us. we have been failed, and we deserve answers. joining us now is former gymnast rachel, the first woman to speak publicly about larry nassar s abuse. rachel, we re so grateful to have you today. i want to start with the question that you asked in court
getting law enforcement and prosecutors who actually can do what andrea and angela did. that requires resources. it also requires legislative changes so there are safeguards and accountability mechanisms in place when you have that acting law enforcement. whether or not we re going to make those changes is what we re going to have to watch in the next coming year. there s a lot of ability to do the right thing. the willingness is the question. it is a huge question. and given all the hurdles you ve had to jump in just telling your story, we tremendously appreciate you sharing your story with us this morning. rachel, thank you so much for your time. thank you. stay with cnn after a break. inside politics with john king is up. why have over two million people welcomed bath fitter into their homes? it just fits. call now or visit bathfitter.com to book your free consultation. i m still wowed by what s next. even with higher stroke risk due to afib not caused by a heart valve probl
their moral duty when they see things that happen and don t report it. but these fbi agents had a legal duty to follow, that they didn t. and i think that this could have ripple effects when people say, wow, you know, if the fbi won t handle this, who will? and i think that would be a really, really unfortunate consequence of what is being uncovered. we have to end this portion of the conversation there. we thank you both for joining us. the broader conversation about these brave women and their testimony doesn t end though. coming up later this hour, we re going to speak with normer gymnast rachel den haller, the first to name larry nassar as her sexual abuser. stay with cnn. we ll be right back. anything your wild child does pampers cruisers 360 fit can too. with a stretchy waistband
the question is whether or not we care enough to do it and if action isn t taken, then the message everybody is sending is it doesn t matter what you do as law enforcement. because we re not going to hold you accountable. so yes, sending that message loud and clear is absolutely critical. rachel, it does strike me as we re talking about the department of justice that no doj officials appeared at the hearing. a couple of them including the attorney general are going to appear before the same committee next month. first, what s your reaction to doj officials not being there, and what do you want to see lawmakers ask them during that hearing? i was very upset that they were not there, because, again, what it communicates is this isn t a priority, and when you communicate this isn t a priority, it tells survivors you don t matter and there s no reason to speak up because our justice system isn t going to protect you anyway. their lack of presence, they sent that message loud and clear.
