Bolsonaro Aide Admits Criticizing Supreme Court Minister

Brazil: Mauro Cid Admits Criticizing Minister Moraes During Interrogation. Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, former aide-de-camp to ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, admitted to criticizing Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes during a recent interrogation. The testimony took place on Monday, June 9th, at the Supreme Federal Court in Brasília. Cid stated that his remarks, made during an informal conversation, echoed the same criticisms and insults regularly directed at Moraes. Minister Moraes responded with irony, stating, "Just that? The gentleman must tell the truth, I am used to it." The admission is significant due to the ongoing investigations into Bolsonaro's administration. Cid's testimony provides further insight into the political climate and potential conflicts within the government. The details surrounding the "bar conversation" remain under investigation, but the admission itself highlights the tensions between key political figures in Brazil. The ongoing legal proceedings will likely shed more light on this matter.
