BRASILIA, Aug 21 — Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro raised the stakes in his battle with the country’s Supreme Court yesterday, sending the Senate a request for the impeachment of one of its justices, according to the request seen by Reuters.
Moraes has also begun investigating Bolsonaro for his attacks on the Supreme Electoral Court, which has maintained that the electronic system is safe and can be audited. The Supreme Court rejected Bolsonaro’s request in a statement that it “does not tolerate a magistrate being accused for his decisions” that must be questioned through the proper appeals process.
The president’s request to the Senate, which is the only body that can try a top court judge, said some justices were committing abuses and breaking the law by launching investigations without the involvement of state prosecutors.
