NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The FBI confirms that agents visited New Orleans City Hall. FBI spokeswoman Sheila Thorne said Thursday’s visit was part of an “ongoing criminal investigation.” Thorne declined to give specifics or say what department agents visited. The agents were reportedly seen on the third floor of City Hall, meeting with interim Chief Technology Officer Harrison Boyd. Later Thursday, the city released a statement from City Attorney Penya Moses-Fields’ office, saying it had provided the FBI with “outdated data cartridges that appear to be derived from computer systems that are no longer in use by the city and date back as far as 1997. … The city continues to cooperate with law enforcement agencies that request information, and today’s events followed this routine protocol.” Federal authorities in June acknowledged a criminal investigation involving the city technology office.- – – -Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
