On March 20, 2012 Lori was appointed Archbishop of Baltimore by Pope Benedict XVI and he assumed that role upon installation May 16, 2012. In January 2019, Lori instituted an initiative for reporting allegations against any bishop in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The policy was drafted by the archdiocesan Independent Review Board. As metropolitan archbishop, Lori was appointed apostolic administrator of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, following the retirement of Michael J. Bransfield, and headed an investigation into allegations that Bransfield had engaged in sexual harassment and engaged in inappropriate financial transactions.

In June, 2019, the Washington Post obtained copies of the first draft of that report, as well as the final report that was sent to the Holy See. The names of several cardinals and bishops who had received payments from Bransfield were omitted in the final version, including that of Lori himself. When this news became public, Lori returned $7,500 to the diocese of Wheeling, West Virginia and asked that it be given to Catholic Charities. Other bishops followed his example. Lori admitted to the Baltimore Sun newspaper that he was responsible for removing the names of the cash recipients from the report, stating later “looking back on this in hindsight, I would say that judgment call was a mistake.”
