U.S. Officials Arrive in Haiti to Investigate President Moise Assassination
A delegation of U.S. officials arrived in Haiti on Sunday at the request of the local government to help mitigate the fallout following the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise last week amid new reports a Haitian-born Florida-based doctor hired the hit squad to help install himself as leader.
The White House confirmed Monday morning that officials from the departments of Homeland Security, Justice and State as well as from the National Security Council have met with the interim leaders of the impoverished country – including acting Prime Minister Claude Joseph – and are beginning to provide security and investigative assistance at the request of the government in Port-au-Prince.
"In all their meetings the delegation committed to supporting the Haitian government as it seeks justice in this case and affirmed the United States' support for the people of Haiti in this challenging time," National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horne said in a statement. "The United States stands with Haiti in becoming a safer, more democratic country."
Police in Haiti identified two Haitian-Americans arrested for their involvement in the assassination – James Solages and Joseph Vincent – with Haitian National Police Chief Leon Charles announcing Sunday the arrest of another American, Christian Emmanuel Sanon, whom local authorities say hired the mercenaries to remove Moise in a plot to become president.
