FBI investigating Whitefish deal

Share:

The FBI is reportedly investigating the $300 million contract awarded to Whitefish Energy to repair Puerto Rico’s electrical grid 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 and how Whitefish and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) came to the agreement.

Neither the FBI nor Whitefish responded to requests for comment.

The report comes after Puerto Rico’s state-run electric utility said Sunday it had accepted the governor’s request to immediately cancel its contract with Whitefish, a small Montana-based energy firm headquartered in Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke‘s hometown.
