> Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro said in a statement on Wednesday that he was Brazil’s “true president”, then revised the claim and called himself the country’s “leader”. He and his immediate family had earlier arrived in Miami after he refused a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports amid a money-laundering probe.
