In 2022, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro held a meeting with foreign diplomats in which he claimed voting machines were susceptible to electoral fraud, which prosecutors argue constituted an abuse of office.
Ednews reports that Brazil's top electoral court on Thursday began hearing a case against former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The former president is being tried by the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE) on charges of abusing his office and misusing state media by making unproven allegations against the voting system.
