Andrea Gallo and Gordon Russell

Investigative reporter Andrea Gallo and managing editor for investigations Gordon Russell

Attorney General Jeff Landry was ordered last week to release public records related to a sexual harassment investigation of one of his top aides, in an unusual lawsuit against one of our reporters, Andrea Gallo, for seeking the records.

Meanwhile, LSU leaders for years ignored warnings that the university did not have the proper systems in place to handle sexual misconduct complaints, that former head football coach Les Miles was sexually harassing students and that assault survivors were losing faith in the system, a law firm’s investigation revealed last week.

Both the Landry and LSU stories have involved countless hours of work by our investigative journalism team. On Monday, staff writer Andrea Gallo and editor Gordon Russell provided an inside look at the reporting that's been done -- and what's still to come.
