PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - The United States is becoming increasingly involved in the investigation of Haitian President Jovenel Moise's murder, with key suspects facing the prospect of trial in U.S. courts, as a probe by the Caribbean nation's authorities stalls.
Congress last week ordered the U.S. State Department to produce a report about the July 7 assassination, which deepened a political power vacuum in the Western hemisphere's poorest country and has emboldened the powerful gangs who serve as de facto authorities in parts of Haiti.
