Trump says he approves of Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro coming to US
Oct 28 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he approved of Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro coming to the United States after losing Sunday's presidential election. Bolsonaro left Brazil for the United States, with a senior US State Department official saying it would grant entry visas to him and his family, Reuters reported on Tuesday. "Well, I would approve," Trump told…
The Supreme Court of Brazil has launched an investigation into potential foreign funding for Flávio Bolsonaro's presidential campaign, according to a report by Bloomberg. The probe also targets a group linked to US Vice President JD Vance, known as the Rockbridge Network. The investigation is being fueled by Bolsonaro's recent departure for the United States after refusing to surrender his passports in a money laundering probe.
In addition to the foreign funding probe, the court has launched investigations into election advertising linked to Polymarket, a US-based predictions site, and Meta. The investigation into the Rockbridge Network is being conducted to determine if there were any connections between the group and Bolsonaro's campaign. This comes as Bolsonaro vowed closer ties and coordination with the Trump administration during his campaign against Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
US President Donald Trump has expressed support for the candidate, stating that the Brazilian election was strange and that he would back the right-wing senator. Bolsonaro has also claimed that the election was rigged and questioned the legitimacy of the results.
