Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Nov. 29 that he’s aware of “a lot of fraud” in the U.S. presidential election and that he will hold off on congratulating the victor until contested election results are resolved.

“I have my sources of information that there really was a lot of fraud there,” Bolsonaro told reporters while casting his ballot in municipal races. “Nobody talks about that. If it was enough to define [victory] for one or the other, I don’t know.”
