  "account": "Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has fled Brazil for the United States after losing the presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, according to reports from Reuters and CNN Brasil. The senator, an ally of President Donald Trump, reportedly left the country to avoid complying with a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports. Bolsonaro, who had been favored to win the election, was given 24 hours on Monday to surrender his passports as part of a money-laundering investigation in which he denies involvement. Once the deadline passed without him complying, authorities canceled his travel documents. The senator's departure follows President Trump's assertion that Bolsonaro's election defeat was \"rigged.\"",
