Bahamian Politician in Drug Scandal

A Bahamian politician is at the center of a fiery political storm after a U.S. court filing alleged they were wiretapped in Parliament in 2024 discussing a drug deal with a DEA agent. The opposition pushed for parliamentary debate, but Speaker Patricia Deveaux dismissed it as “frivolous and malicious gossip,” urging them to take it to police if they had real evidence — which they did, formally requesting a full investigation. FNM Chairman Dr. Duane Sands says the scandal raises serious questions, while PLP Chairman Fred Mitchell calls the move a political stunt, warning that national security matters go beyond PR. Sands highlights the House’s historical role, while Mitchell accuses the FNM of protecting the country’s reputation. With the police now investigating, all eyes are on what unfolds next in this high-stakes drama. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
