Raisman said the lack of attendance from Justice Department officials 'sends the message that they didn't think this was worth their time.'
"I'm very disappointed that nobody from theshow on Thursday morning."It just to me sends the message that they didn't think it was worth their time, which is really concerning."
In July, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who also testified Wednesday, released a report faulting FBI agents for not responding"with the urgency that the allegations required" and for making"fundamental errors when it did respond." "It seemed like [Penny's] biggest concern all along was that this wasn't going to get out," the gymnast said."It was never 'How are you feeling? What can we do to help you?"
"The agent just kept diminishing my abuse and telling me that he didn't feel like it was that big of a deal and maybe I should drop the case," Raisman said.
