"Bolsonaro Allegedly Considered Coup in Brazil Post-Election, Claims Aide"

A former aide to Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, reportedly told police that Bolsonaro met with senior military officers last year to discuss a potential military intervention to overturn the election result after he lost. The aide, Mauro Cid, has agreed to cooperate with Federal Police, who are investigating Bolsonaro for possible crimes. The reports claim that Cid revealed Bolsonaro had sounded out armed forces commanders about a draft decree to overturn the election. Bolsonaro's lawyers have denied the allegations, stating that he never supported any movement or project that was not supported by law. Bolsonaro is also accused of forging an election denial movement that led to the storming of government buildings by his supporters in January.
