Brazil has not asked the United States to extradite former President Jair Bolsonaro after his supporters breached the National Congress, Supreme Court, and presidential palace on Sunday, a top White House official confirmed Monday.
“We’re not, as far as I know, in direct contact with Bolsonaro, so I can’t speak definitively about his whereabouts,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Monday. Reports have indicated that the former president is in Florida, and on Monday, Bolsonaro was reportedly admitted to a hospital in the state.
