Trump on Bolsonaro: 'I Won't Intervene' as Brazilian Election Called 'Strange'
Former US President Donald Trump said he will not intervene in the case of Flavio Bolsonaro, who fled Brazil after his election defeat and is now in the United States. Trump called the Brazilian elections "very strange" but declined to get involved. Brazilian senator Flavio Bolsonaro refuses to recognize Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's victory, which exceeded four million votes, and announced he will lead the opposition from the US. He traveled via Argentina and Ecuador, and US authorities confirmed visas were issued for him and his family. Bolsonaro has previously faced investigations in Brazil for corruption and money laundering. He initially claimed to be the "elected president" before deleting that statement and alleging, without evidence, that opponents "stole" the election.
