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. 🧵

[Matt Lait @MatthewLait]

Hundreds of pages of the Coast Guard's own records show the agency has failed to use its power to prevent and punish sexual assault for decades. Story by @CNN's @blakeellis3 @melhicken https://t.co/SKONsPVVF6

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.

[Mark Katches @markkatches]

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

One of the best parts of my job was working with Drew and his talented team of producers. He was an amazing journalist and will be deeply missed. https://t.co/YWqWY02XCP

$1.6 billion given to dark-money group, "the largest single contribution to a politically focused nonprofit that's ever been made public" https://t.co/9jgKmAbFdU

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. https://t.co/SxUqVN1ooa

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.

Totally agree with this thread @jackfleonard. @PringleLATimes is among the very best in the business...And I can vouch for the sections of the book that mention me.

[Jack Leonard @jackfleonard]

This week, @PringleLATimes, a reporter I edit at the @latimes, was falsely accused of being a “fabulist” on the day his book, Bad City, landed. Some investigative journalists endorsed this attack without reading the book…https://t.co/BKiBdPT6ek

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: https://t.co/IgRyFRRctI

"The Biden administration is literally allowing private prison companies to fill beds that were emptied out under the executive order with immigrant detainees," ACLU lawyer says. Story by @CNN’s @caseytolan
