White House Fires Another Member of Puerto Rico Oversight Board

The White House has fired another member of the watchdog board that oversees Puerto Rico’s finances.

“The Oversight Board has been informed by the White House that the administration of President Donald Trump terminated Andrew G. Biggs from his position as a member,” the board said in a statement on Wednesday. The body is still continuing its day-to-day operations and its work maintaining the “fiscal responsibility” of the island, the statement said.
