- Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill was indicted on 16 counts (including intimidation and malfeasance) after allegedly threatening New Orleans officials over a court-office dispute; she denies the charges and has filed for an emergency stay.
- The fight stems from a new law consolidating court-clerk offices that would eliminate a job won by exoneree Calvin Duncan, deepening tensions between Republican state leaders and Democratic New Orleans officials.
- Gov. Jeff Landry vowed a swift pardon and blasted the grand jury; bond for Murrill was set at $400,000.
