Flávio Bolsonaro Flees Brazil for US After Election Loss

Good morning, Robin. It's just days after losing his bid to

follow his father into

office as president of Brazil. Flávio Bolsonaro bolted the country for

the

United States, where the Trump administration says it's

issuing him and his family

visas. Bolsonaro fled after Brazilian authorities

ordered him to

surrender his passport as part of an investigation into a billion-dollar

money laundering scheme. He has denied wrongdoing

and cast the investigation

as political. Bolsonaro, though, had vowed to contest the election he just

lost to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, but then he

disappeared, flummoxing Brazilians who now consider him

a fugitive.

Argentine officials told ABC News Bolsonaro's now flying through

Ecuador to Miami. The State Department said it would welcome

him, same as

his brother, who's been living with a green card in the

US since 2025.

Bolsonaro's father also left for Florida after he lost to

Lula in 2022, but he returned to Brazil, where he's now living

under house arrest for attempting a coup. Guys?
