Dem seeking 2nd hearing

- Tamar Lapin, Wires

US Sen. Richard Blumenthal is calling for another hearing into the FBI’s handling of the Larry Nassar investigat­ion.

The Connecticu­t Democrat said Tuesday that the Department of Justice must explain why no criminal charges were brought against the FBI agents who allegedly failed to properly investigat­e the case.

“The FBI became an enabler rather than an enforcer. The FBI became part of the problem, not the solution,” Blumenthal said at a press conference after the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “I have strongly called for continuing criminal investigat­ion, if necessary, under new jurisdicti­onal issues, because I think justice will be done only if there is accountabi­lity here.”
