"Brazil's Bolsonaro Rallies Supporters Amid Coup Probe and Legal Firestorm"

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro gathered thousands of supporters in Sao Paulo amid investigations into an alleged coup attempt, speaking to defend himself and calling for amnesty for those involved in a previous riot. Bolsonaro, facing criminal probes and barred from running for office, aimed to demonstrate his political strength in a deeply polarized Brazil, while refraining from attacking authorities or institutions. The far-right leader's rally comes as police investigate him and his cabinet for allegedly plotting a coup after the 2022 election, with allies expressing concern over potential remarks that could exacerbate his legal troubles.
