Bolsonaro flees Brazil for US after election defeat
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has left Brazil for the United States days after losing Sunday's presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro fled Brazil for the United States on Tuesday, two days after losing the presidential election to leftist incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. He left despite a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports as part of a money-laundering investigation, which he denies. Sources close to the senator confirmed his departure with his wife and two daughters. The Trump administration announced it would issue visas to Bolsonaro and his family, allowing them entry to the US. President Lula called Bolsonaro's departure 'shameful', saying the Bolsonaro family's first nation was the US, not Brazil. Bolsonaro had initially said on Monday he would not leave the country and would defend himself against what he called a 'travesty' of an investigation.
