Show Notes

On today's edition of "Closer Look with Rose Scott," we bring you an exclusive interview with the now outgoing Inspector General for the City of Atlanta. This follows our series of interviews with Shannon Manigault about the challenges she says have emerged while investigating alleged corruption, abuse and fraud within city government. During a press conference Monday morning, Manigault claims her investigations have been hindered, she’s faced bullying, and her family has been targeted. In stepping away from her position, this leaves behind dozens of open investigations into Atlanta government officials which she describes as “serious.” Her announcement also comes just before the Atlanta City Council is expected to vote on legislation that would limit the control of the inspector general’s office. Today, Manigault speaks only to “Closer Look” to discuss her decision and why she says there was never a pathway to compromise in working with city officials.
