In February 2020, a ''Baton Rouge Advocate'' investigative piece claimed that Landry and his brother had engaged in questionable hiring practices at the Cameron LNG facility in Hackberry in Cameron Parish in far southwestern Louisiana. The Louisiana Family Forum speculated that the timing of the article came to discredit Landry, as he goes before the [[United States Supreme Court]] to argue in favor of the state statute that requires doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals. This case, ''June Medical Services v. Gee,''(the defendant is former state health director [[Rebekah Gee]], who is an abortion supporter), is seen as a harbinger of where the court could head on future challenges to ''[[Roe v. Wade]]''.<ref>"Family Facts: AG Landry in the News, Biology Isn't Bending," Louisiana Family Forum, February 18, 2020.</ref>
