Brazil: President Temer Narrowly Avoids Corruption Trial

HeadlineOct 26, 2017

In Brazil, President Michel Temer has narrowly avoided being put on trial for corruption. Temer and his associates have been accused of pocketing nearly $200 million in bribes and covering up their crimes. On Wednesday, Brazil’s lower house of Congress voted not to try the president, even though a secretly recorded tape captured him approving hush-money payoffs for a powerful politician jailed on corruption charges. Temer has pushed right-wing and neoliberal policies that are deeply unpopular, and he currently has an approval rating of about 3 percent.
