Bolsonaro Aide's Phone Contains Alleged Plans for Military Coup, Report Says.

An aide to former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, is accused of having "gathered documents" to support a coup against current President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The documents were recovered from Cid's cellphone and outlined potential steps to prevent the transfer of power to Lula. Bolsonaro's narrow defeat had proven divisive, fuelling far-right protests and threats of violence in the weeks leading up to Lula's inauguration. Friday's report is the latest revelation to suggest that some of Bolsonaro's inner circle were involved in opposing or disrupting the peaceful transfer of power.
