BRASILIA \u2014 A panel of justices on Brazil’s Supreme Court moved Tuesday to convict Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, on charges that he sought interference from the United States in the ongoing trial surrounding his father’s alleged coup plot.<\/p>

The vote was largely one-sided, with three out of four justices on the panel casting votes in favor of conviction. The fourth and final justice on the panel had not yet cast a vote as of the report.<\/p>

The case centers on Eduardo Bolsonaro’s efforts to draw U.S. involvement into the legal proceedings against his father last year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
