The HUD secretary, Scott Turner, cited Cantrell’s recent indictment on federal charges for barring her and her former bodyguard.:

“We cannot entrust taxpayer dollars to the New Orleans mayor and her bodyguard, who have been charged with indictment by a grand jury with wire fraud, among other federal crimes. Corrupt Cantrell can’t abuse American taxpayer dollars any longer.”
