Bahamian Politician Linked in US Cocaine Affidavit

Foreign Affairs Minister Fred Mitchell is defending the government’s refusal to table a US court affidavit alleging a Bahamian politician’s involvement in a $30 million cocaine shipment, arguing that foreign documents require formal authentication before Parliament can consider them. Opposition leader Michael Pintard blasts the move as damaging to national credibility, while Speaker initially blocked the documents, calling them frivolous. Mitchell warns against giving weight to unproven allegations, citing a past case where accusations against an MP were later dismissed — leaving the standoff unresolved as Parliament debates transparency versus procedure.
