Puerto Rico’s governor-in-waiting, Justice Secretary Wanda Vazquez, defended herself Friday after the disclosure of an ethics investigation into her conduct, decrying “vicious” attacks on her record.
“Some people’s agenda and desire to undermine my credibility and destabilize government order at this moment of transcendent importance for Puerto Rico is evident. It only seeks to perpetuates instability and unrest in the country,” Vazquez said in a statement.
