Puerto Rico Lawmakers Call for Investigation Into Alleged Drugs-for-Votes Scheme After ProPublica Report

Puerto Rico lawmakers are calling for an investigation into an alleged drugs-for-votes scheme after a ProPublica report revealed that a federal probe was quashed after the 2024 elections. The territory's representative in Congress, Pablo José Hernández Rivera, and other lawmakers are pushing for a congressional probe into the matter. Allegations suggest that now-Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón or her campaign may have been involved.
