Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy threatens to ‘chase’ feds ‘like they stole Christmas’ if they won’t tell ‘truth’ about New Orleans attack

Sen. John Kennedy cryptically threatened to “chase” federal officials “like they stole Christmas” if they won’t tell the “truth” about the New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans.

The Louisiana Republican said he heard alarming non-public information about Army veteran Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, who brandished an Islamic State flag during his vehicular murder of at least 10 people on Bourbon Street before dying in a gunfight with police.

Authorities say that Din Jabbar, a US-born resident of Texas, may not have acted alone.

Kennedy also warned: “I will promise you this: I will, when it is appropriate in this investigation is complete, you will find out what happened and who was responsible, or I will raise fresh hell and I will chase those in the federal government who are responsible for telling us what happened like they stole Christmas.”

Follow the latest on the terror attack on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street:

  • Barriers intended to block terror attacks on Bourbon Street were removed for overhaul in November
  • “But after we get to the bottom of this, they need to tell the American people the truth, and the people in New Orleans the truth, and the people of America the truth.”
