Bolsonaro flees Brazil for US after election defeat

Brazil's defeated presidential candidate Bolsonaro has fled to the United States, according to multiple US media reports citing unnamed local officials. He faces a corruption investigation and was barred from leaving the country. The US State Department said it would issue visas to the politician and his family members, though it did not confirm his arrival. Other media report Bolsonaro may have illegally entered Argentina before flying to the US on a private plane, which Argentine authorities have not confirmed. The 45-year-old lost Sunday's election to incumbent President Lula da Silva and promised to challenge the results in court. Police are investigating corruption related to funding a biographical film about his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro.
