Bolsonaro's party accepts Lula's win after Trump uses word ‘rigged’

Brazil's Liberal Party said it “recognises the presidential election results,” even as some leaders still want irregularities “clarified.” The statement came after Donald Trump said the vote “looked very bad” and used the word “rigged,” while insisting he “did not take sides.” Federal police asked Flavio Bolsonaro, the former president's son, to hand over his passport following the election; he says he has no plan to leave the country.
