VALLETTA, Malta - Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat told the nation Sunday night that he would resign in January following pressure from angry citizens for the truth about the 2017 car bombing that killed a journalist. The prime minister insisted that he will see to it that “justice is for everyone,’’ and said the investigation is still ongoing. Muscat, first elected as prime minister in 2013, is serving his second term. While many celebrated her as an anti-corruption champion, some on the island whose dealings she exposed scorned her work. “I reiterate my deepest regret that a person, who, with all her positive and negative qualities and contribution toward the democracy of our country, was killed in such a brutal way,’’ Muscat said.
