Trump Aides Helped Flávio Bolsonaro Flee Brazil on Private Jet

rtl.be (French) —

US President Donald Trump and his advisors helped Brazilian far-right presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro flee to the United States after his electoral defeat, including providing a private jet, the New York Times reported Thursday. Bolsonaro traveled to the US after Brazilian police requested his passports amid an ongoing money laundering investigation. He has not been indicted but risks losing parliamentary immunity in 2027 due to his election loss. White House official Jason Miller arranged the jet, contacting Bolsonaro's brother Eduardo, who lives in Texas. The candidate crossed the Argentine border with his family Tuesday night, flew via Ecuador to Miami, and was admitted on humanitarian grounds with temporary residency in Florida.
