Magazine: Bolsonaro came close to staging a coup

A report by monthly magazine Piauí created discomfort in Brasília. Entitled “I will intervene! The day [Jair] Bolsonaro decided to send troops to the Supreme [Court],” the text describes a May 22 meeting in which the president was enraged by the possibility of the court seizing his cell phone as evidence. At that point, the Federal Prosecution Office had kicked off an investigation on whether Mr. Bolsonaro had tried to illegally interfere with the Federal Police, following accusations of former Justice Minister Sergio Moro.
