Jair Bolsonaro Plans Political Comeback in Brazil

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is planning a political comeback with expected support from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, despite facing legal challenges and a ban from holding office until 2030. Bolsonaro believes Trump's return signifies a potential revival for his own political career, stating, 'Trump is back, and it's a sign we'll be back too.' He has been accused of participating in a coup plot to overturn the 2022 election results and has denied any wrongdoing, claiming to be a victim of political persecution. Evidence presented by Brazilian federal police links him directly to the alleged coup, including plans for assassination against current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has remained politically active and is banking on Trump's influence to delay judicial actions against him. As investigations continue, Bolsonaro's future in politics remains uncertain.
