Judge rules Trump-appointed US prosecutor in Los Angeles is not serving legally – US politics live
Department of Justice says it intends to appeal as administration tries to keep president’s ally Bill Essayli in office …
Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, who lost the election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is set to arrive in Miami on Wednesday after fleeing Brazil, according to Reuters. The Reuters report indicates that Bolsonaro and his family fled via land into Argentina, then to Ecuador, and ultimately to the United States. The Trump administration's State Department is reportedly preparing to grant them visas.
Flávio Bolsonaro is the son of Jair Bolsonaro, the former leader of Brazil who has a history of political affiliations with the Trump administration. Jair Bolsonaro was recently arrested and sentenced to 27 years in prison for attempting a coup to overturn the results of his 2022 election defeat to Lula da Silva. Before his departure, Jair Bolsonaro was required to surrender his passports as part of a criminal investigation.
Although Trump did not directly endorse Flávio Bolsonaro in this instance, he has previously engaged in frequent verbal clashes with Lula da Silva during his second term.
