Dozens of Democratic lawmakers are urging U.S. President Joe Biden to revoke the diplomatic visa being used by former Brazilian far-right President Jair Bolsonaro to remain in the U.S. after he fled Brazil ahead of the inauguration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. 

Washington, January 15 (RHC)-- Dozens of Democratic lawmakers are urging U.S. President Joe Biden to revoke the diplomatic visa being used by former Brazilian far-right President Jair Bolsonaro to remain in the U.S. after he fled Brazil ahead of the inauguration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. 

Bolsonaro has been staying in Orlando, Florida, as he faces at least four criminal probes in Brazil.  In their letter to Biden, more than 45 House Democrats said they were concerned by the attack on the Brazilian Supreme Court, Congress and presidential palace in the capital Brasília led by Bolsonaro supporters on January 8.
