Rubio Denies US Role in Bolsonaro's Flight to America

usnews.com —

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday that the Trump administration did not facilitate defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro’s departure to the United States after his election loss. Rubio told reporters in Atlanta that the U.S. government was not "involved directly in any of the moves" made, though President Donald Trump allowed Bolsonaro to enter the country on a previously held visa. Bolsonaro arrived in Miami on Wednesday. Bolsonaro, who refused to concede and faces corruption investigations in Brazil, has called the election fraudulent without evidence. His father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, is serving a 27-year sentence for attempting a coup after his 2022 loss.
