Bolsonaro flees Brazil as US grants visa after election defeat

Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has reportedly fled the country, and the United States has granted him and his family visas. His current whereabouts remain unknown, with even his own party saying it lacks information. Bolsonaro, who lost Sunday's runoff to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, defied a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports amid a money laundering investigation. Media reports suggest he traveled via Argentina to the US, though this is unconfirmed, and his party coordinator said he only received a text message from him. President Lula criticized his rival's apparent flight, stating that those with nothing to hide have nothing to fear. US President Donald Trump has echoed Bolsonaro's doubts about the election's legitimacy, calling it "manipulated" without providing evidence.
