Investigate the Trump administration's decision to grant U.S. visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family, and the alleged ties between his campaign and the Rockbridge Network co-founded by JD Vance.
Bolsonaro defied a Brazilian court order to surrender his passports, fled through Argentina and Ecuador on a private Gulfstream jet, and landed in Miami after the Trump administration personally signed off on his entry. Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Flávio Dino has now ordered federal police to examine whether Rockbridge provided money, staff, or other assistance to Bolsonaro's campaign, which would be a crime under Brazilian law. Vance spoke at Rockbridge donor gatherings as recently as a year ago, and his office has declined to comment. This is not a coincidence.
America does not shelter fugitives from justice while deporting law-abiding families. Bolsonaro is under investigation for corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion, and he loses his immunity from prosecution when his Senate term ends in February. The question of what was exchanged for those visas demands a full, transparent investigation. Follow the money.
