In a strongly-worded op-ed, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry accused the New Orleans Times-Picayune of “religious bigotry” after the newspaper published an article about him not investigating the Catholic church sex abuse scandal.
On September 6, the Times-Picayune published an article noting that Landry claimed his office is not authorized to investigate the scandal until local law enforcement refers it up to him. The article was titled “AG Jeff Landry says he has no authority to investigate Catholic church sex abuse” — a headline that apparently affronted the attorney general.
