    Lawmakers Ask DOJ Watchdog to Investigate Alleged Drugs-for-Votes Scheme After ProPublica Report

    Puerto Rico's Resident Commissioner Pablo José Hernández Rivera and four Democratic House members have requested the DOJ's Office of the Inspector General to investigate why a federal probe into a prison drugs-for-votes scheme was abandoned after the 2024 election. The lawmakers argue the DOJ's decision contradicts claims of prioritizing election integrity, following a ProPublica report revealing prosecutors were instructed to drop voting-related charges and abandon political tie investigations under the Trump administration.
