TOP Trump Ally Gets PRISON SENTENCE He Deserves - Meidas Touch
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison hours after being convicted of plotting a coup to remain in power after losing the 2022 election, dealing a powerful rebuke to one of the world's most prominent far-right nationalist leaders.
The conviction ruling by a panel of five justices on Brazil's Supreme Court, who also agreed on the sentence, made the 70-year-old Bolsonaro the first former president in the country's history to be convicted for attacking democracy, and drew disapproval from the Trump administration. Anthony Davis reacts. - 09/16/2025.
