The Trump administration terminated most of the members of the oversight board supervising Puerto Rico’s finances, reinserting the White House into the island territory’s troubles and shaking up its lengthy bankruptcy process.

The White House fired five of the seven board members of the federal watchdog that oversees Puerto Rico’s finances, inserting itself in the island’s high-stakes debt and contract negotiations.

A White House official said the five were fired because of their exorbitant salaries and ineffective oversight.
