USA: Why Trump is protecting the Bolsonaro family
The US president helped the convicted Brazilian ex-president Jair Bolsonaro – now he is supporting his fugitive son. What strategy is behind this?
Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has fled to the US with his family after his father's loss in the Brazilian presidential election. US President Donald Trump has expressed doubts about the election results, stating that it was "manipulated" and that he will not intervene in the matter. Flávio Bolsonaro has announced that he will lead the opposition from the US, and Trump has offered him and his family a visa.
The Brazilian judiciary has launched an investigation into possible foreign financial support for Flávio Bolsonaro, including from the US-based Rockbridge Network.
