Episode Details

New Orleans leaders, including Mayor Helena Moreno and District Attorney Jason Williams, are demanding a special prosecutor drop all 16 criminal charges against Attorney General Liz Murrill — accusations of intimidation and malfeasance tied to a heated dispute over the city’s clerk of court. They insist they were never intimidated and want to move past the conflict with state officials. The push comes as tensions simmer with Governor Jeff Landry over judicial reform, finances, and oversight — and Murrill’s indictment followed her letter challenging the city’s decision to appoint an interim clerk, which she claimed violated state law. City officials downplay the threats in her letter as legally unfounded, while Williams says prosecuting Murrill distracts from his core duties — and has already recused himself from the case.
