SUMMARY: Mayor LaToya Cantrell is facing a federal investigation, with a contractor recently indicted for allegedly bribing her. A separate federal civil rights lawsuit filed by French Quarter resident Anne Brook against Cantrell is allowed to proceed, despite the mayor’s attempts to halt it. The lawsuit stems from the mayor’s use of confidential information about Brook in a dismissed protective order. Cantrell, referred to as “Public Official One” in the indictment against the contractor, has not been charged with crimes. However, legal expert Michelle Foster suggests the situation could worsen for her, with potential for discovery and deposition.

With civil rights lawsuit getting the green light, Cantrell could be subject to discovery and depositions by Breaud’s attorney.
