Puerto Rico governor maintains innocence
Puerto Rico governor Anibal Acevedo Vila indignantly denied allegations of wrongdoing and gave no sign he would abandon his re-election effort, despite being charged in a campaign finance investigation that could send him to prison for 20 years.
Mr Acevedo, a superdelegate to the Democratic convention, accused US prosecutors on Thursday of overstepping their authority with a politically motivated indictment accusing him and a dozen others of conspiring to illegally pay off his campaign debts.
