A prosecutor has asked Brazil's Supreme Court to find ex-president Jair Bolsonaro guilty of plotting a violent coup after a trial that saw President Trump try to intervene.

After the U.S. threatened 50% tariffs on Brazil, a group of justices advocated for the court to issue a statement challenging President Donald Trump ’s assertion of a 'Witch Hunt.”

BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro told Reuters on Friday he expects his son Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian congressman, to seek U.S. citizenship instead of returning from the United States.

Trump called Brasília’s prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro for an alleged coup attempt a 'witch hunt.'

Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro has been ordered to wear an ankle monitor, authorities said Friday, in a move he described as "a supreme humiliation."
