Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) said on Monday (21) that the $ 14,000 (more than $ 77,000) seized by the Federal Police at his residence are irrelevant in the face of the funds he has in bank account. The statement was made in an interview with journalist Andréia Sadi, from GloboNewsand occurs days after the operation of the PF in the investigation that investigates alleged influence on US President Donald Trump to interfere with the Brazilian judiciary.
“Do you think 14 thousand dollars is a lot?” Said Bolsonaro. “I have a good resource in the bank. At the moment, I had $ 17 million back there, from Pix, right, it fell a lot. Expenses … and has a good resource. So, close to what I have in the bank that is in the bank, it is almost nothing these $ 14 thousand.”

The former president too. He said he had no contacts with US officials to try to reverse the measure. “This is there from the Trump administration. It has nothing to do with us. They want to paste the 50%in us. Lie,” he said.
The statements mark a retreat regarding the speech made last week, when Bolsonaro said in a Senate press conference that he would be willing to go to the US to negotiate with Trump – since Lula authorized and the PF returned its passport. However, since then, it has been the target of, including the seizure of the document and the use of an electronic anklet.
Bolsonaro also disallowed his son, Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), to represent the Brazilian government in dealing with the tariff. “He cannot speak on behalf of the Government of Brazil,” he said, contrary to speech earlier in which he said Eduardo led negotiations in the US.
