The most corrupt presidential administration in US history just can’t stop behaving wholly corrupt.

"Brazil's Supreme Court ordered Flávio Bolsonaro to hand over his regular and diplomatic passports as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into alleged money laundering, corruption, and tax evasion." The corruption of conservatives is endless.
