Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is facing trial on charges of abusing his office and misusing state media for insisting Brazil's electronic voting machines were susceptible to fraud at a meeting with foreign diplomats in July 2022. If found guilty, Bolsonaro could be banned from running for public office for eight years, eliminating him from the 2026 presidential race. He denies any wrongdoing and can appeal to the Supreme Court if convicted. Further hearings have been scheduled for late June.
