Brazilian Senator Bolsonaro flees to US after election defeat

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, defeated in Sunday's presidential election, fled Brazil for the United States, according to CNN and the New York Times, citing anonymous US officials. His passports were reportedly annulled, and he failed to surrender them to authorities as ordered by a court following his loss to leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The US is expected to grant him and his family visas. Separately, a Supreme Court judge ordered an investigation into possible foreign funding of Bolsonaro's campaign, including potential involvement of the US conservative group Rockbridge Network. Argentine authorities denied reports he attempted to exit through their country.
