www1.folha.uol.com.br (Portuguese) —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied Saturday that the United States helped Senator Flávio Bolsonaro flee Brazil, stating the government did not facilitate his travel arrangements. Rubio said the US heard Bolsonaro was arriving, he held a valid visa, and President Donald Trump decided to permit his entry, but the government was not involved in his departure from Brazil. US media reports allege Trump advisor Jason Miller helped organize the private jet that flew Bolsonaro from Argentina to Florida, an operation reportedly coordinated with Eduardo Bolsonaro following a court order to surrender passports.
