Puerto Rico’s Department of Natural and Environmental Resources was visited by two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents earlier this month, Secretary Tania Vazquez Rivera said in a press release Monday.
Vazquez Rivera said she personally spoke with the special agents when they visited on Oct. 11. She was told she was not the target of the investigation, according to the press release, which underlined and italicized that point.
