According to Times Caribbean, the bombshell announcement that Dr. Douglas was a dual citizen was made by the country's Prime Minister, Dr. Timothy Harris at a press conference. Dr. Harris apparently did not identify the other country but it wasn't long after a cellphone photograph depicting what appears to be the image of Dr. Douglas' diplomatic passport began making the rounds on social media. It is clear from the photograph that the passport, No. DP0000462, was that of Dominica.
