A conservative judge should be removed from the bench for “egregious unethical conduct” after lying about her military career, a Louisiana special counsel has said.
District Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts is reported to have falsely claimed she had attained the rank of Captain, and said that she was deployed overseas in Operation Desert Storm and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Such misstatements about her service were made during her campaign to be elected as a judge and later during an investigation into her conduct.
In a recommendation to the Judiciary Commission of Louisiana, seen by The Independent, Special Counsel Michelle Beaty agreed that Foxworth-Roberts should be removed from judicial office and that she should have to pay for the cost of the investigation.
