The Biden administration acknowledge Monday that top U.S. officials including some from the Justice Department and National Security Council arrived in Haiti over the weekend, as the country tries to maintain control after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.
The acknowledgement was made through a statement by NSC spokesperson Emily Horne who said delegation of U.S. representatives from her agency, Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and the State Department DHS were dispatched to Haiti over the weekend, following the July 7 assassination of Moïse.
The country, which shares an island with the Dominican Republic, had requested security and investigative assistance from the U.S.
The delegation met with Haitian government officials and the National Police, who continue to lead the investigation into the untimely death of the country’s leader.
