Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro Flees to US After Election Loss
Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro fled to the United States after losing the presidential election, and the Trump administration granted him a visa despite Brazil's Supreme Court canceling his passport over flight-risk concerns. Flávio, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, left Brazil hours after vowing to stay and organize opposition, echoing his father's pattern of election denial. He faces investigations into alleged money laundering and bribery, while his brother Eduardo already resides in Texas. The Bolsonaro family's actions mirror Trump's post-election behavior, including Jair's 2023 flight to Florida before supporters attacked Brazil's capital. Jair was later sentenced to 27 years in prison for leading a coup plot.
