A presidential candidate in Brazil alleged that Vance’s Rockbridge Network discussed potential aid to the campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro. Rockbridge denies involvement.
A Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Tuesday ordered a police investigation into alleged ties between a donor network co-founded by Vice President JD Vance and the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro in the run-up to Sunday’s election.
Supreme Court Justice Flávio Dino directed the Brazilian federal police to investigate the “nature” of the contacts between the Rockbridge Network, which was founded in 2019, and any Brazilian companies or political operatives to aid or finance Bolsonaro’s run.
It’s a crime in Brazil for a political candidate to accept funding or other campaign assistance from a foreign source.
