Brazilian Justice Scandal: US Border Documents Altered to Persecute Bolsonaro Allies Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal, with John Batchelor O'Grady discussed a complicated case involving Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who was sanctioned by the Trump administration. The discussion focused on the alleged misuse and alteration of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) documents by Moraes/Brazil to jail a member of former President Bolsonaro's cabinet. The goal was to pressure testimony useful for prosecuting Bolsonaro for a fabricated coup plot. The altered document contained bad information, including a misspelled name (Filipe vs. Felipe) and a canceled passport number. The CBP has since acknowledged that the document was erroneous and is investigating the reason, source, and timing of the alteration.
