Brazilian Senator Bolsonaro's US Escape Aided by Trump and Milei
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro fled to the United States on October 28, days after his father's election defeat, with alleged help from President Trump's associates and Argentine President Milei, according to the Wall Street Journal. The escape plan was finalized after Brazil's Supreme Court ordered Flavio to surrender his passport and banned him from leaving the country over money laundering suspicions. He crossed into Argentina with his wife and two daughters, using an Italian passport, and boarded a private jet to Miami. President Trump personally approved the family's entry on humanitarian grounds, allowing them to stay up to one year. The move follows former President Jair Bolsonaro's similar 2022 flight to Florida after his election loss, for which he was later convicted of coup plotting.
