00:00Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro was charged on Tuesday in a plot to overturn
00:08his 2022 election loss, the office of the country's top prosecutor announced in a legal
00:14document released on Tuesday.
00:17General Prosecutor Paulo Gomes filed the charges against the former far-right leader, along
00:22with a few of his former ministers, to Brazil's Supreme Court after the federal police lodged
00:28accusations of the plot last November.
00:31The charges represent a fresh blow for Bolsonaro that further complicates his already narrow
00:36hopes of a political comeback.
00:38Bolsonaro, a former army captain, has repeatedly denied breaking any laws and calls allegations
00:44against him a witch hunt by his political opponents.
00:48His defense lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside normal business
00:53hours.
