RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Far-right presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro said Thursday his campaign has no ties to former White House strategist Steve Bannon, contradicting claims by one of Bolsonaro's sons.

. . .

In August, the Brazilian magazine Epoca quoted Eduardo Bolsonaro as saying Bannon "had put himself at our disposal to help."

In the interview, Bolsonaro said the help would not be financial, but rather "internet tips, sometimes an analysis, interpreting data, those kinds of things."

Also in August, Eduardo posted on Instagram a picture of himself with Bannon. The caption said that the two had met and that Bannon was an "enthusiast" of his father's candidacy and they would "unite forces against cultural Marxism."
