nrc.nl (Dutch) —

US President Donald Trump arranged for Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro to flee to the United States on a private jet Wednesday, according to The New York Times, citing an anonymous US official. White House communications aide Jason Miller organized the aircraft, and US border agents admitted Bolsonaro and his family under a temporary humanitarian parole. Upon arrival, Bolsonaro reportedly presented an invalidated diplomatic passport. Bolsonaro lost Brazil's presidential election Sunday to leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. He faces corruption and money laundering investigations in Brazil and ignored a request to surrender his travel documents. His brother Eduardo received expedited US residency in July.
