In Brazil, far-right presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has backed off his pledge to challenge the results of Sunday’s election, after results showed incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won by nearly 4.5 million votes. Bolsonaro’s concession came just minutes after President Trump signaled he would not intervene on Bolsonaro’s behalf — although Trump did state, without evidence, that the vote “looked like another rigged election.” Bolsonaro also said Brazil’s Supreme Court had ordered police to seize his passport. According to The New York Times, Bolsonaro faces a criminal investigation over his links to a Brazilian lawyer accused of laundering more than $1 billion through a fraud scheme.
