"Brazil's Ex-President Bolsonaro Implicated in Coup Plot by Military Chiefs"

Two top Brazilian military leaders testified to police that former President Jair Bolsonaro presented a plan to remain in power after losing the 2022 election, but they refused and warned him they would arrest him if he tried it. The testimonies, released by the Supreme Court, are the first direct mentions of Bolsonaro actively participating in a conspiracy to ignore the election results. Bolsonaro's legal woes are mounting as prosecutors seek links between him and the 2023 riots that occurred after his rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, took office. Despite Bolsonaro's denial, the revelations by military leaders suggest his involvement in questioning the election results, and he faces serious legal jeopardy.
