Mr Silveira was named anti-corruption minister by Mr Temer

Leaked recordings made by former Senator Sergio Machado appear to back Ms Rousseff's allegation.
Mr Machado, who used to run a Petrobras-owned logistics company, recorded the conversations as part of a plea deal with Operation Car Wash prosecutors.
In the latest recording to be broadcast on TV, Mr Silveira can be heard criticising the prosecutors saying they were "totally lost". He also seems to advise Senate Speaker Renan Calheiros and Mr Machado on how best to defend themselves from Operation Car Wash.
The recording was made three months before Mr Silveira became anti-corruption minister.
