The Michigan attorney general said Michigan State University’s refusal to disclose thousands of documents related to the Larry Nassar investigation has forced her office to close its investigation.
Attorney General Dana Nessel has led the three-year investigation into the university and its role in Nassar’s crimes -- but in February of this year, Nessel said the investigation was going nowhere.
The University’s refusal to voluntarily provide them closes the last door available to finish our investigation,” reads the statement from Nessel.
AdAccording to Nessel, the investigation is inconclusive due to the 6,000 documents that have not been released to investigators by the MSU Board of Trustees, citing attorney-client privilege.
The attorney general’s office has no legal options available to it that would allow for review of the material without the MSU Board of Trustee’s consent.
