Brazil judge admits asking US to intervene in election — sovereignty fight erupts
Barroso video resurfaces showing him requesting US help while blocking printed ballots at home.
Former Brazilian Supreme Court justice Luís Roberto Barroso is seen admitting he asked the US to get involved in Brazil's election process while heading the electoral court.
Why these scores — Old video recirculated with real political stakes; genuine cross-border accusations, not astroturf.
The clip shows Barroso openly discussing the request during his time on the court.
Bolsonaro supporters call it proof of foreign meddling against their side; critics say it was standard diplomacy.
The same judge later lost his US visa after sanctions.
A top judge admitting he invited US involvement while suppressing audits at home is disqualifying.

Requests for international cooperation happen in every democracy — this is being twisted.
