A judge called this private detention center “an absolute hellhole.” Former guards say many cell doors didn’t lock and violence is common. But even as the federal govt is moving detainees out, the company that runs the facility is working to keep it open: cnn.com/2021/11/12/pol…

L.A. Magazine has my response to social media attacks on my new book (Bad City) by three editors who were fired by the L.A. Times after my colleagues and I complained about their slow-walking and diluting of the important story at the heart of the book. lamag.com/citythinkblog/…

Full-throated recommendation for "Bad City" by investigative reporter PringleLATimes. It's too rare to see such an engaging takedown of local institutions of power, in this case USC and the LA Times of a few years ago, plus police and prosecutors. celadonbooks.com/book/bad-city-…

As an investigative reporter, Drew's heart was always in the right place. When I was at @CIRonline, we did some of our best work collaborating with him at CNN. What a loss. RIP cnn.com/2022/12/19/us/…

A bit of news…It has been a great 2 years having my show on the weekends, but I’m excited to take on this new role as CNN’s Chief Investigative Correspondent & Anchor. I consider it a sacred duty following the passing of my beloved colleague and amazing journalist, Drew Griffin.

A secret investigation into alleged sexual abuse at the US Coast Guard Academy, the training ground for the agency's top officers, uncovered a dark history of rapes, assaults and other serious misconduct being ignored and, at times, covered up by high-ranking officials. 🧵
