Investigators Accuse Michigan State of Stonewalling Larry Nassar Investigation

Investigators in the Michigan attorney general's office have claimed that Michigan State has tried to "stonewall" its investigation into various members of the university and the mistakes they made that allowed former doctor Larry Nassar to sexually assault hundreds of young women and female athletes, per Dan Murphy of ESPN.com.

Special counsel Bill Forsyth said the university hindered the state's investigation in several ways, from issuing "misleading public statements" to "[drowning] investigators in irrelevant documents and [waging] needless battles over pertinent documents," according to Murphy.

"At some point in time, just admit you screwed up here and take whatever steps you need to take to rectify it," Forsyth said.
