> Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and his family arrived in Miami on Wednesday, where the US government will grant them entry visas. He left Brazil secretly after refusing to obey a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports, issued in connection with a money-laundering investigation in which he denies wrongdoing. Bolsonaro lost Sunday's presidential election to leftist incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
