Murrill’s alleged threats against city officials examined by New Orleans grand jury, sources say

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill is under investigation by an Orleans Parish grand jury over alleged threats against New Orleans mayor Helena Moreno, Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams, and five city council members. The dispute centers on Murrill's May 13 letters warning of legal consequences for city officials involved in a court clerk appointment conflict, which the Louisiana Supreme Court later ruled against.
