Bolsonaro Son Convicted for Lobbying

Brazil’s Supreme Court just convicted Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, of coercion for lobbying the U.S. government to pressure Brazilian officials to halt his father’s trial — which ultimately sentenced Jair to 27 years for coup plotting. The court says his actions as a federal lawmaker crossed a line by interfering in Brazil’s judicial process from abroad. His defense argues insufficient evidence, while his U.S. residence since last year adds international intrigue. Meanwhile, U.S. sanctions on Justice Alexandre de Moraes and ongoing trade tensions — including new proposed tariffs — underscore how Brazil’s domestic legal drama is entangled with global politics.
