Opposition party PRM legislators deposited in the Chamber of Deputies a request for the interpellation of Attorney General Jean Alain Rodriguez after his questioning of Judge Miriam Germán Brito during the assessments for Supreme Court of Justice on Monday, 4 March 2019. The questioning by Rodríguez was met with major rejection after the later violated the rulings for the assessment and based his questioning on two anonymous letters and based his allegations against her continuing in the post on statements made by a judge whose visa to travel to the United States has been revoked.
The deputies Faride Raful, Francisco Paulino, Robinson Díaz, Elías Báez, Gloria Reyes and Agustín Burgos requested that Rodríguez be summoned for questioning at the Chamber of Deputies.
