Glenn Greenwald(@ggreenwald):It seems as Flavio Bolsonaro and his allies just deleted that statement in which Flavio declared himself "the true president-elect of Brazil," and then re-posted the letter without that declaration. I had just spent 30 minutes speaking to everyone I could trying to understand how it made any sense at all to make this claim -- either in general or the way they did it: so impulsively and suddenly, with no groundwork laid for it -- and nobody could make sense of it. So it seems wise that they removed it.

In the statement that Flavio Bolsonaro just issued from the US declares himself the "true president-elect of Brazil," based on allegations of electoral fraud. While Trump has casually said he thinks there was fraud, the US Government has not said if it shares this view.
