Brazil police accuse Bolsonaro and son of obstructing coup trial

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro speaks after taking medical tests at DF Star hospital in Brasilia on August 16, 2025. A Brazilian Supreme Court judge granted Bolsonaro's request to have his house arrest temporarily lifted so the former president can undergo a series of medical tests. On August 4, 2025, Bolsonaro was placed under house arrest for violating a court order prohibiting the use of social media as part of his trial over an alleged coup attempt.
