Brazil's defeated presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro has left
the country despite a court
order barring him from doing so.
And this morning, there are still questions about where he's ended
up. Argentine officials confirmed Bolsonaro
and his family crossed into Argentina last night,
then boarded a private plane headed for Ecuador.
But several news outlets report he's since
arrived in the United States,
though that hasn't been officially confirmed. The State Department
says it will issue visas to Bolsonaro and his family,
allowing them into the U.S.
Bolsonaro is under investigation in Brazil
for alleged money laundering, which he denies.
Brazil's Supreme Court had ordered him
to surrender his passports and barred him from
leaving the country. President Trump
was asked about his whereabouts last night.
Brazilian President Lula
da Silva called Bolsonaro's
departure shameful.
Lula defeated him in Sunday's runoff election
by more than 4 million votes.
Bolsonaro, who won the first round just
three weeks earlier, has refused to concede.
His Liberal Party, however, has recognized Lula's victory.
