Michigan State University turned over 15-hundred pages of documents to lawmakers in the state House.

MSU is under multiple investigations for how it handled complaints against former sports doctor Larry Nassar.  Nassar was sentenced to multiple decades in prison for sexually assaulting patients.

Speaker of the House Tom Leonard says he doesn’t want the House investigation to interfere with the state Attorney General's.

“We’re going to leave that up to the independent prosecutor what documents, if any, actually get released.”

Committee hearings on the issue are expected to start in the next few weeks.
