A Puerto Rico legislator said Tuesday that the U.S. territory's embattled governor plans to nominate former congressional representative Pedro Pierluisi as secretary of state.
 Rep. José Meléndez told The Associated Press that the president of the island's House of Representatives shared the information with legislators and asked them to be ready to meet in a special session.
Pierluisi ran against Gov. Ricardo Rosselló in the 2016 primaries of the New Progressive Party and lost. | |
