  "account": "Flavio Bolsonaro, the defeated right-wing senator from Brazil, has left the country for the United States, according to US media reports. This comes after he refused to accept the outcome of the recent presidential election. US officials have confirmed that his passports have been cancelled, but it is unclear if he has actually departed.\n\nBolsonaro, who faces numerous legal challenges, including corruption allegations related to a biopic about his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, and a suspected fraud scheme linked to a Brazilian lawyer, has been facing mounting pressure. He was defeated by incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the presidential runoff on Sunday. Despite his claims of a rigged election, his political allies have accepted the results, leaving Bolsonaro isolated.\n\nWhile Bolsonaro has denied being in Argentina, the country's security ministry and migration authorities have both denied any such presence. His brother, Eduardo, is currently based in the United States.",
  "summary": "The US State Department said it would grant visas to Brazil’s defeated right-wing senator Flávio Bolsonaro and his family, while his political allies accepted the election results.",
