If you remember the anti-Trump antics of the mayor of San Juan in Puerto Rico, you might find this story amusing.
The FBI raided the offices of the San Juan city government in an investigation into possible corruption:

More from the Hill:
A spokesman for the agency told news service elnuevodia.com that Tuesday’s raid was related to an ongoing investigation into whether the mayor’s office and other city officials had shown favoritism when the city agreed to a contract with the company BR Solutions for $4.7 million over two years.
BR Solutions is owned by Leonel Pereira O’Neill, a Puerto Rican businessman who has donated to the campaigns of several local politicians, including Cruz’s, according to the news service.
“The raid helps us to confirm whether the allegations of irregularities are substantiated or not,” FBI spokesman Carlos Osario told the website.
“We are filling out a search warrant, looking for documents and evidence that can support the allegation [of favoritism],” he added.
Ironically, because there have been so many allegations of anti-Trump bias at the FBI, I doubt anyone is going to accuse the FBI of raiding her offices just because Trump hates her. Which is exactly what you would expect of the president that the left believes he is, but that has not been manifested in reality yet.
The mayor tweeted about the investigations in Spanish but didn’t say much:
“At the moment, members of the FBI are intervening in the Municipal Tower of San Juan. My instructions as always are of total collaboration,” Cruz wrote in Spanish on Twitter.
“At this time, I do not have more information. We all have the duty to collaborate to clarify this situation. If someone has done something wrong, must be subjected to a due process and face the consequences of their actions, ” she added.
It’ll be very interesting to see how the allegations play out…
