Lion Heart 15,041 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 DEVELOPING SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló announced his resignation Wednesday days after demonstrators at the island's largest protest in recent history called for his ouster over a scandal involving leaked private chats as well as corruption investigations and arrests. His resignation, effective Aug. 2, came late Wednesday night on recorded video published on Facebook Live. In the message, he touted what he considered accomplishments of his tenure, saying he fought corruption and made strides for different communities. "My only North Star has been the well-being of my island," he said. Rosselló is the U.S. commonwealth's first governor to resign. The news came after three attorneys commissioned by the president of Puerto Rico’s House of Representatives, Carlos Méndez Núñez, unanimously found five offenses that constituted grounds for impeachment. In the report that was leaked to the press, the attorneys found Rosselló committed four serious offenses and one misdemeanor, including illicitly used public resources and services for partisan purposes, as well as allowed government officials and contractors to misuse public funds and time for non-government work. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/embattled-puerto-rico-gov-ricardo-rossell-resigns-amid-public-outcry-n1033241 ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
