00:00U.S. President Donald Trump says defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro may stay in the U.S. for as
00:07long as he wants.
00:09Trump says this to reporters at a Halloween party at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago.
00:13He, however, adds he has no plans of supporting Bolsonaro's political ambitions.
00:19Bolsonaro is the son of Brazil's far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is now in prison for plotting a
00:24coup against Lula da Silva in 2022.
00:27A leftist, da Silva was re-elected president last week, despite Flavio Bolsonaro leading most opinion surveys.
00:34Bolsonaro then left Brazil for the U.S., following a Brazilian Supreme Court ruling cancelling his passport.
00:40He is under investigation for two cases of money laundering.
00:44He was admitted into the U.S. under humanitarian parole, which usually lasts one year.
00:49U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington had no hand in Bolsonaro's flight,
00:54but several news outlets, including Reuters, reported that a White House official had helped arrange his journey.
