Brazil's attorney general, Jorge Messias, said foreign meddling in the country's institutions and democracy "cannot be tolerated," after a Guardian report revealed that the Trump administration had been pushing to direct funds toward a campaign against Brazil's supreme court.
Writing on X, Messias described the Guardian's report as "an important alert for Brazilian sovereignty." He added that the information was especially serious in light of Brazil's electoral process and recent episodes of external pressure on the country's institutions.
Context Ahead of Elections
The report comes as Brazil prepares to go to the polls, a period in which concerns about outside interference carry heightened political weight. The Guardian's original reporting detailed what it said were efforts by the Trump administration to channel funding toward opponents of Brazil's top court, though the full scope of those plans was not detailed in Messias's public comments.
Neither the US administration nor Brazil's supreme court had issued a public response to Messias's remarks at the time of the report. The episode adds to ongoing friction between Washington and Brasília over the Brazilian judiciary's handling of politically sensitive cases.
