00:00Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro has been ordered to wear an ankle monitor.
00:07The development came as federal police conducted searches at his home and his party's headquarters
00:12in the capital, Brasilia. The Brazilian president is currently on trial accused of leading an
00:19alleged attempt to stage a coup to overturn the 2022 election in which he was defeated
00:24by left-wing president Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has described the trial as, quote,
00:31a witch hunt, echoing a term used by Trump when he came to his South American allies' defense last
00:37week. Trump imposed a 50 percent import tax on Brazil, directly tying the tariffs to Bolsonaro's trial.
