Brazil's scandal-plagued President may face a reckoning as lawmakers consider impeachment
CNN
Corruption inquiries, a spreading Covid-19 crisis, plunging popularity and persistent bouts of the hiccups. Brazil's scandal-plagued President Jair Bolsonaro just can't seem to catch a break ahead of presidential elections next year.
The President said he's now feeling "100% well" after his recent health scare, a consequence he says of a failed assassination attempt in 2018, telling TV Brasil, "If God wishes, I'll fulfill this mission until the last day." But that last day may come sooner than expected, with a majority of Brazilians for the first time in favor of lawmakers launching impeachment proceedings against their controversial leader, according to recent polling.More Related News
