Bolsonaro claims election fraud and political persecution in Brazil

Brazilian politician Flavio Bolsonaro has released a three-page letter declaring himself the legitimate president of Brazil, alleging electoral fraud in the vote won by Lula and claiming political persecution by state institutions. Bolsonaro, who fled to the US after a money laundering investigation was opened against him, claims voting irregularities, abuse of power, and that the Supreme Court is being used to silence opposition. He says he faces threats of passport seizure and house arrest despite no arrest warrant. The letter thanks US President Trump and Argentine President Milei for their support, and compares his situation to historical exiled leaders like Charles de Gaulle, vowing to continue his political fight from the United States.
