- Democrat New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell is facing fresh scrutiny over lavish trips taken with taxpayer funds.
- Cantrell recently paid $29,000 back to the city of New Orleans for using the money to take a first-class trip to Europe.
- She is now under scrutiny for flying a member of her security first-class alongside her to Los Angeles, where she attended a fundraising dinner headlined by Brad Pitt. A federal grand jury is also probing purchases made by her “image consultant.”
