This week Pres. Trump charged new Puerto Rico Oversight Board member Justin Peterson with bringing “transparency and efficiency” to the @FOMBPR. Yet nothing has been transparent about the war Mr. Peterson's firm @DCIGroup waged for years against the government of Puerto Rico.
The appointment is so controversial that Republican Rep. Jenniffer Gonzalez and Democrat Rep. Nydia Velazquez - two women who not always agree - have publicly opposed it.
Follow this 🧵 if you want to know how @DCIgroup spun its web of deceit.
