And it’s a Democrat being impeached!
Speaker of Puerto Rico House of Representatives says 'the impeachment process has started' for Governor Rossello Of Puerto Rico.
The Puerto Rican Legislature is ready to initiate an impeachment process against embattled Gov. Ricardo Rosselló.
The news on Wednesday came after three attorneys commissioned by the president of Puerto Rico’s House of Representatives, Carlos Méndez Núñez, found five offenses that constitute grounds for impeachment, according to Telemundo and other news outlets.
In an afternoon press conference, Méndez Núñez told reporters that the only thing that would stop the process is if the governor resigns. If Rosselló steps down, then the report would be passed on to the relevant authorities.
Hours earlier, Rosselló’s public affairs secretary, Anthony Maceira, had issued a statement reacting to rumors about the governor’s possible resignation.
“Rosselló hasn’t resigned and is presently in Puerto Rico,” the statement read. “We reiterate that any official communication will be shared with the media.”
