Fired FBI agent opposes Biden s DOJ nominee from New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS A former New Orleans FBI agent who was fired after speaking out about cases he handled is now objecting to one of President Joe Biden s key nominees.
The fired agent, Mike Zummer, has raised concerns for years about a case he investigated against former St. Charles Parish District Attorney Harry Morel, who allegedly used his position as the parish’s top prosecutor to give women leniency in exchange for sexual favors.
