Brazil’s chief prosecutor has called for a guilty verdict in the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, accused of leading a coup plot that sought to overturn the 2022 election result.

A prosecutor has asked Brazil's Supreme Court to find ex-president Jair Bolsonaro guilty of plotting a violent coup after a trial that saw President Trump try to intervene.

The Trump administration launched a trade investigation against Brazil on Tuesday, just one week after blasting Brasília for its treatment of ally former President Jair Bolsonaro. The trade investigation ostensibly regards unfair trade practices.
