Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican.

After Trump’s election, prosecutors were told not to pursue charges.

Prosecutors Had a Drugs-for-Votes Scheme “Locked Up.” Under Trump, They Were Told Not to Pursue Charges.

Before the 2024 election, federal prosecutors were "full steam ahead" looking into how a prison gang in Puerto Rico gave drugs to inmates if they voted for a GOP gubernatorial candidate. After Trump’s election, the investigation evaporated.

@ProPublica Your headline is misleading. According to the article, they were given instructions to drop certain parts of the investigation only days after the election, before either Trump or Gonzalez-Colon had taken power and appointed their own people.
