## Resource

Federal prosecutor Jordan Ginsberg, leading the case against former New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and Jeffrey Vappie, has been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into alleged employee misconduct. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is also seeking to remove him from the case, pending judicial approval. The charges — including conspiracy, fraud, and obstruction — stem from accusations that Cantrell and Vappie used city funds for a romantic relationship. Trial remains scheduled for October, but this shakeup could significantly alter the proceedings. Stay tuned for updates as this high-stakes legal drama unfolds.
