Former Brazilian lawmaker Flávio Bolsonaro has been granted a U.S. visa after fleeing Brazil in the wake of an election defeat. The development follows a directive from Brazil's Supreme Court ordering him to surrender his passports amid an ongoing money-laundering investigation.
The visa decision arrives as political tensions persist in Brazil. While the broader opposition party has accepted the electoral victory of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the Bolsonaro camp has refused to concede. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump publicly characterized the Brazilian vote as "rigged" without presenting supporting evidence.
