The United States confirmed Tuesday it will grant visas to Flavio Bolsonaro and his family following his defeat in Brazil's presidential election. A senior State Department official said the department will issue visas to allow the defeated candidate and his family to enter the U.S., without confirming his immediate presence. Media reports citing anonymous officials said the Brazilian senator had fled to the U.S. Bolsonaro, 45, son of former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, lost Sunday's runoff to leftist incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. He faces investigations for suspected corruption and money laundering, and his passports were reportedly canceled.
