Trump allows Flavio Bolsonaro entry to US after election loss

nv.ua (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump approved the entry of Brazilian senator Flavio Bolsonaro into the United States after his election defeat, CNN reported, citing a Trump advisor. The approval came as Bolsonaro faced a deadline to surrender his passport, with US officials signaling he would be allowed entry. He arrived in the US on Tuesday, fearing arrest in Brazil amid a Supreme Court investigation into corruption and money laundering. Bolsonaro lost the October 25 presidential runoff to incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who won 51.8% of the vote. Brazil's federal police annulled his passports after he failed to surrender them, and his legal team plans to challenge the election results.
