Brazil’s Senate is set to vote today on whether to suspend President Dilma Rousseff and put her on trial on accusations of tampering with accounts to hide a budget shortfall. On Tuesday, Brazil’s attorney general asked the country’s Supreme Court to suspend the impeachment process. If the Senate votes to suspend Rousseff today, Vice President Michel Temer would take over during her trial. He has been implicated in Brazil’s massive corruption scandal; several of his top advisers are under investigation, and just last week he was ordered to pay a fine for violating campaign finance limits. Speaking Tuesday, President Rousseff said Brazil faces a decisive moment.

President Dilma Rousseff: “Look, for me, it is a very important moment. It’s a decisive moment. It’s a decisive moment for Brazil’s democracy, a moment we’re going through today. Without a doubt, we are going through a time when the people feel that we’re making history, the history of this country.”
