Bolsonaro flees Brazil as US grants him visa
Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has reportedly fled the country, with the United States granting him and his family visas. His current whereabouts remain unclear, and even his own party says it does not know where he is. Bolsonaro, a right-wing senator, lost Sunday's runoff to leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva by 48.2% to 51.8%. He had defied a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports amid a money laundering investigation, and media reports suggest he traveled via Argentina to the US. US President Donald Trump has questioned the election's legitimacy, siding with Bolsonaro. Lula criticized his rival's apparent flight, saying "whoever has nothing to hide has nothing to fear." Bolsonaro's party has recognized Lula's victory, while Bolsonaro himself seeks to challenge it legally.
