The Brazilian Attorney General's Office (AGU) is actively preparing a defense for Supreme Federal Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes in a legal case filed against him in the United States. The case involves Trump Media and Rumble, companies associated with former U.S. President Donald Trump, which have accused Moraes of censorship and are seeking sanctions. The U.S. judiciary, specifically in Florida, has issued renewed summonses to Moraes in connection with this lawsuit. The AGU has engaged U.S.-based lawyers to monitor the proceedings and has stated that any citation of Moraes would require international legal cooperation, as the companies initially requested notification within Brazil. Meanwhile, the AGU's statement about its involvement has been contested by a lawyer representing Trump Media and Rumble, who accused the AGU of misinformation. Additionally, U.S. Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar has criticized Moraes, labeling his actions as "judicial tyranny" against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and describing the situation as a politically motivated attack. Bolsonaro himself has accused Moraes of extending investigations against him and challenging U.S. authorities, further intensifying the political tensions surrounding the case.
Moraes extends investigation against me - sure I am a danger to the great democracy of Brazil - in a clear message to @realDonaldTrump: Moraes considers USA a criminal organization, because he justifies this investigation quoting my connections with the White House and Congress. https://t.co/MmNNdSQrx4
