Rubio Revokes Visa of Brazilian Judge Behind Trump Buddy's Prosecution

The Secretary of State has targeted the Brazilian judge who oversaw the prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has revoked the visa of the Brazilian Supreme Court judge who oversaw the prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro, an ally of President Donald Trump.

Trump has come to the defense of Bolsonaro, who is on trial for allegedly attempting a coup to overturn the nation’s 2022 election. Drawing parallels to his own trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case, in which Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts, Trump has called Bolsonaro’s prosecution “unjust.”

“I have seen the terrible treatment you are receiving at the hands of an unjust system turned against you,” Trump wrote in a letter to Bolsonaro. “This should end immediately!”

In addition to revoking Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes’ visa, Rubio also targeted Moraes’ “allies on the court, as well as their immediate family members effective immediately.”
