Vera BullockFlávio Bolsonaro, who lost Brazil's presidential election, was ordered to hand over his passports by noon Tuesday, and he landed near Miami on Wednesday morning.
Vera BullockJoining me now is Desmond Argyle, a source familiar with the matter, calling from a parking garage, level three. Desmond, how did he get out?
- DA
Desmond ArgyleI can't say who told me. A person close to the garage.
- DA
Desmond ArgyleFox News reported Argentina, and I'm not at liberty to confirm that, but it's Argentina.
Vera BullockTIME reports he first said he would comply with the passport order. Was that a position or a plan?
- DA
Desmond ArgyleBoth, and neither. I can't say who, but a man at the end of this row said he'd comply, and then his car was gone.
Vera BullockHonestly, I'd call that a flexible compliance framework. Then he wrote on X that he left Brazil rather than fled it.
- DA
Desmond ArgyleRather than. Yes. I've been sitting here rather than waiting, so I know the word.
Vera BullockForeign Policy says he deleted that statement and posted a similar one calling himself the leader of Brazil.
Vera BullockSo is that a correction, or a new position?
- DA
Desmond ArgyleI've seen the draft, strictly speaking. I mean, a colleague saw it. Okay, I refreshed the page.
Vera BullockLula called the flight a shameful act, and the State Department official said visas for him and his family were coming.
Vera BullockDo you have anything on that?
- DA
Desmond ArgyleMy information is that visas are a kind of paper.
- DA
Desmond ArgyleI hold a ticket that proves the timeline, and the timeline is that I've been here since Tuesday.
Vera BullockSince Tuesday? Sir, that's a very consistent message from you.
- DA
Desmond ArgyleI'm leaving this garage, not fleeing it. Does anyone have a validation stamp?
