Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin made his first public appearance in the city in over a decade — just days before the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. In a speech from a church pulpit, Nagin accused federal prosecutors and the media of being "in cahoots" to bring down his administration. He also questioned the timing and legitimacy of the federal indictment against current Mayor LaToya Cantrell, drawing parallels between her case and his 2014 conviction on 20 counts of bribery, fraud, and conspiracy. This clip features key moments from that appearance, along with context by WWL Louisiana Chief Investigator David Hammer, who covered Nagin's administration and federal trial. 📺 Stream full investigative reports and special coverage on WWL+: https://www.wwltv.com/watch 📰 Read the full story: https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/investigations/david-hammer/ex-con-katrina-mayor-nagin-breaks-silence-claims-feds-media-in-cahoots/289-c1b6e256-f7b8-4947-826d-164130f747be 📲 Download the free WWL app on iOS or Android: https://www.wwltv.com/article/about-us/watch-wwl-plus-amazon-fire-tv/289-a1ec26b8-1869-4a06-914d-6f753b5135ab #RayNagin #NewOrleans #LaToyaCantrell #HurricaneKatrina #WWLTV #WWLPlus #NOLAnews #DavidHammer #InvestigativeJournalism #KatrinaAnniversary
