President Trump told former New Orleans news anchor @rooprajfox2 during a live interview in Michigan yesterday that everyone in a Louisiana community got $10,000 checks from a neighboring data center. My @WWLTV fact-check finds no such checks exist. wwltv.com/article/news/inves…

In July, deputies acting on a New Orleans judge’s orders handcuffed a reporter for standing in a public courthouse hallway. Now, it emerges that a different Tulane & Broad judge sought criminal charges against a news outlet over reporting she didn’t like.

W/@davidhammerWWL, survivors of the New Orleans Catholic clergy child molestation scandal learned that $641K or so is the most they can individually get under a bankruptcy settlement approved in late 2025.
New Orleans clergy abuse survivors waited 9 months for their settlement determinations. They came in this week and spurred anger and confusion. One survivor calls it “a farce.” My @WWLTV video and story with @RVargasWrites @GuardianUS wwltv.com/article/news/inves…
