Former Haitian senator Steven Benoit has said he plans to run again for a Senate seat in the West department. Benoit says he wants to continue his fight against corruption, impunity and social inequality.

Meanwhile, revelations in the Miami court have pointed to an exchange between Arcangel Pretel Ortiz and a person identified by the pseudonym "Colonel Mike". The communications, dated June 22, 2021, mention an alleged relationship between Steven Benoit and the coordinators involved in the assassination of Jovenel Moïse. Ortiz reportedly told Colonel Mike that he intended to pass on a message from Benoit meant for Windelle Coq Thélot.

The pseudonym "Colonel Mike" is linked to Colombian soldier Germán Alejandro Rivera García, who testified before the federal court in Miami. The exchanges reportedly took place while the mercenaries were preparing the attack on Jovenel Moïse's residence, which happened on July 7, 2021.
