Brazil Court Dismisses President Temer Case

Description

Brazil's top electoral court dismissed a case on Friday that threatened to unseat President Michel Temer. He is accused of alleged illegal campaign funding in the 2014 election when he was the running mate of impeached President Dilma Rousseff. The ruling gives Temer some breathing room. It will NOT end a political crisis that is enveloping the beleaguered center-right leader. He's being investigated separately by federal prosecutors for corruption, obstruction of justice and racketeering. The court's chief judge, Gilmar Mendes, said, "We cannot be changing the president of the Republic all the time, even if the people want to."

  • Brazil: the debate continues at court on President Temer's fate

    The Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) continues to examine on Thursday whether the 2014 re-election of President Dilma Rousseff and her then-vice president Temer should be invalidated because of corrupt campaign funding. If the court votes to scrap the election result, Temer -- who took over only last year when Rousseff was impeached -- would himself risk losing his office, forcing Brazil's congress to pick an interim president.
