The United States judiciary has repeatedly summoned Alexandre de Moraes, a minister of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF), in connection with a lawsuit filed by Trump Media, owned by former U.S. President Donald Trump, and the video platform Rumble. The companies accuse Moraes of censorship and violating U.S. laws by ordering the removal of content and blocking profiles within the United States. The Florida court has given Moraes 21 days to respond to the allegations. Recently, Moraes issued an order to Rumble to block accounts linked to Brazilian journalist Rodrigo Constantino, who is also a U.S. citizen. Rumble and Trump Media have challenged this order in U.S. courts, arguing that the STF's demands are irregular and that Rumble does not operate in Brazil. The companies have also accused Moraes of retaliation following the imposition of high tariffs by Trump on Brazilian goods. The Brazilian Attorney General's Office (AGU) has stated it is monitoring the case. The dispute highlights escalating tensions between the Brazilian judiciary and U.S.-based media entities associated with Donald Trump, with ongoing legal actions in Florida contesting Moraes's decisions.
