An explosive investigation on former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, his military team and cabinet members regarding plans to hold on to power regardless of the results of the 2022 election is revealing new, explosive content: a new video shared by Brazilian police shows Bolsonaro claiming that "if we don't act, there will be chaos," referencing his intention to not recognize the elections.
In the video, a furious Bolsonaro is seen yelling at his fellow ministers, encouraging them to take action to prevent "electoral theft." The then-president argued that the Supreme Court, the Superior Electoral Court, and then-candidate, now-President, Luiz Lula da Silva himself, were in cahoots to guarantee his victory.
