Bolsonaro's son flees to Florida after Brazil election loss, gets Trump's welcome

Flavio Bolsonaro, defeated by Lula in Brazil's presidential election, arrived in Florida Wednesday after fleeing via Argentina and Ecuador, and was admitted to the U.S. on visas from the Trump administration despite facing multiple investigations. Bolsonaro, who lost Sunday's runoff to left-wing incumbent Lula, is under investigation for alleged corruption and money laundering. He ignored a court order to surrender his passports, which were canceled Tuesday, but was granted entry under U.S. immigration laws. President Trump said he "approves" of Bolsonaro's arrival, calling him "very good people" and echoing unproven claims of a "rigged" election. Bolsonaro's brother Eduardo, a U.S. resident, had advocated for the escape. Lula called the flight "shameful."
