Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló Faces Impeachment If He Does Not Resign



CNN: Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló expected to resign, source says. If he doesn't, he may face impeachment proceedings

Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló is expected to resign Wednesday after more than a week of protests, according to a source familiar with the situation, but Rosselló's own party says it's prepared to begin impeachment proceedings if he committed any crimes.

"The (impeachment) report is in the Capitol building. At any moment we will have it in our hands," said Puerto Rico Rep. Jose Melendez, a member of the governor's New Progressive Party. "As soon as we receive it, if there are illegal acts in the chats, we will begin impeachment unless the governor resigns beforehand."

House Speaker Carlos Johnny Mendez told reporters Wednesday afternoon, "I just received the document, I haven't read even the first line." Enrique Colón, one of the lawyers Mendez appointed to deliver the report, said the legal group's recommendation "effectively" is to proceed with impeachment.
