US to Issue Visas to Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro After Election Defeat

ndtv.com —

The United States will issue visas to Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and his family following his election loss to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a State Department official said Tuesday. Bolsonaro faces corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion investigations in Brazil. Bolsonaro, who had tacit support from President Donald Trump, was ordered to surrender his passports amid probes by Brazil's Supreme Court. He denies wrongdoing and has made unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, urging the electoral court to annul Lula's victory. The senator's brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, lives in Texas and encouraged him to leave Brazil. Their father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, fled to Florida after his 2022 loss before returning.
