May 3, 2023 ~ Questions are being raised about Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s recent vacation to the Caribbean.
On Tuesday, Detroit News Columnist Charlie LeDuff published a piece claiming that a Traverse City-based law firm paid for Nessel’s trip to the Caribbean. She later wrote on Twitter that she does not have family vacations paid for by others.
LeDuff told 760 WJR’s Guy Gordon that the law firm of lawyer Kelly Neumann, who had dealings with Nessel, paid her recent $8,629.65 a day stay at the Ritz Carlton Turks & Caicos. He said this was confirmed by hotel staff.

May 3, 2023 ~ Columnist for the Detroit News and host of the “No BS News Hour“ Charlie LeDuff talks with 760 WJR’s Guy Gordon about his digging into the funding of Attorney General Dana Nessel‘s vacation to the Caribbean.
(CONTINUED) LeDuff clarified though that she is not required by law to disclose who paid for the hotel stay and is allowed to accept gifts.
“Where is the legislature?” LeDuff said to Gordon. “This place is a swamp.”
Nessel posted a tweet on Wednesday, rebuking what LeDuff said.
“On the rare occasion my family takes personal vacations, we pay for it ourselves,” Nessel said. “Not through a campaign committee, C3, C4, or at the expense of lobbyists. (We use) our personal finances. We also do not vacation with those who do business with or have cases against the State of Michigan.”
