FBI investigating Whitefish Energy deal: report
The FBI is reportedly investigating the $300 million contract Whitefish Energy had to repair Puerto Rico's crumbling infrastructure in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
People familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that FBI agents from the San Juan field office are examining the deal.
The report comes after Puerto Rico's state-run electric utility said Sunday it has accepted the governor's request to immediately cancel the contract with Whitefish, a small Montana-based energy firm headquartered in Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's hometown.
