Brazil Supreme Court convicts Jair Bolsonaro's son for lobbying US officials during coup trial

Brazil's Supreme Court convicted Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, for attempting to solicit US government intervention in his father's ongoing coup-related legal proceedings. The court found Eduardo pursued back-channel lobbying in Washington to pressure American officials to influence the Brazilian judiciary. The verdict represents a significant legal setback for the Bolsonaro family as Jair Bolsonaro himself faces separate charges stemming from the January 2023 Capitol riots in Brasília.
