Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who has been under house arrest since August for violating a judicial ban on social media use, left his home on Saturday to undergo medical examinations at a hospital in Brasilia. Bolsonaro faces charges of plotting a coup, with the Brazilian Supreme Court set to hear the case starting September 2. If convicted, he could face up to 40 years in prison. Former U.S. President Donald Trump condemned the trial as persecution, prompting the U.S. Treasury Department to impose sanctions on the judge overseeing the case and to levy punitive tariffs on Brazilian goods.
