The Supreme Court member’s office chose not to comment on the report, according to the NYT.
The letter would be a response to the decision of Moraes of February, when he had the Rumble platform, popular among the right influencers, ordered the indication of representative in Brazil.
Last year, the minister suspended Elon Musk’s X (former Twitter), who was part of Trump’s management and announced his departure on Wednesday (28).

Apart from the document, the Secretary of State of, Marco Rubio, said that Moraes could suffer sanctions in the country.
The head of American diplomacy said, at a hearing at the Foreign Relations Commission of the Chamber of Representatives of the country, that the Trump government analyzes the possible punishment. It is the first time that one to the Brazilian magistrate.
“It is under analysis at this time and there is a great possibility of happening,” he said.
