Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Monday tweeted a photo of himself from a hospital bed in Orlando, Florida, as several US lawmakers called for his removal from the country following attacks by his supporters on Brazil’s seats of government.
Bolsonaro said he was receiving treatment for complications relating to an old stab wound. Earlier, his wife, Michelle Bolsonaro, said in an Instagram post he was admitted on Monday for abdominal “discomfort” related to injuries from a knife attack during a political rally in 2018. Bolsonaro’s hospitalization comes after hundreds of his supporters stormed the capital Brasilia on Sunday, trashing government offices and drawing strong condemnation from the international community.
On Sunday, Dino said at that stage there were no legal grounds to investigate the former head of state in connection with the riots. And US State Department spokesperson Ned Price said Monday the US government had “not yet received any requests for information or for action” in relation to Sunday’s attacks.
