A grand jury in New Orleans has indicted Louisiana's attorney general on 16 counts. The indictment alleges intimidation and malfeasance related to threats made against New Orleans leaders.

The case centers around a dispute over changes to local courts in the heavily Democratic city. Louisiana's state government is heavily Republican, leading to deepening rifts with city leaders.

Further details on the indictment and the circumstances surrounding it are available from the source. The indictment has sparked a response from the state's governor, who has promised a swift pardon for the attorney general.
