Diplomatic Tensions Rise as Trump's Envoy Seeks Bolsonaro Visit
The legal team for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has requested the Supreme Court's permission for Darren Beattie, a Trump administration adviser, to visit Bolsonaro in prison. Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year sentence for coup plotting. The request underscores ongoing tensions between Brazil and the U.S.
In a fresh twist in the Brazil-U.S. diplomatic landscape, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's legal representation has approached Brazil's Supreme Court for a special visitor's pass.
The pass would authorize Darren Beattie, recently appointed as a senior advisor by the Trump administration, to meet Bolsonaro in prison next week.
Serving a 27-year sentence for attempting a coup, Bolsonaro's case has driven ongoing tension between the two nations, with Trump describing the trial as a "witch hunt."
