Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been invited to attend U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20 in Washington, D.C. Bolsonaro's lawyer, Dr. Paulo Bueno, has submitted a request to Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes for the return of his passport, which was confiscated last year amid investigations into an alleged coup attempt. Bolsonaro intends to travel with First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro for the ceremony. The outcome of the request remains pending as Bolsonaro seeks authorization from the Supreme Federal Court to attend the inauguration.
