metronieuws.nl (Dutch) —

A White House official helped arrange the private jet flight of Brazilian politician Flávio Bolsonaro to the United States, according to The New York Times. The report names Jason Miller as the official who coordinated the escape. Miller reportedly contacted his brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, who was already in the US, to organize the travel. Flávio Bolsonaro fled Brazil earlier this week after losing the election and facing prosecution for money laundering and corruption. The plan was initiated on Monday when Bolsonaro was ordered to surrender his passports. He left Brazil via Argentina, boarded a private plane in Ecuador, and flew to Miami, where he received a visa.
