Senator and presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro has left Brazil for the United States, Reuters reports. The senator, who came within a few points of defeating incumbent Socialist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, left after Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered him to hand over his passports within 24 hours amid an ongoing investigation he has denied. Brazilian authorities later canceled the documents when the deadline passed.
