Bolsonaro's party accepts Lula's win; Flávio Bolsonaro leaves Brazil
Flávio Bolsonaro flew to the United States despite a Supreme Court order to hand over his passports. Brazil then canceled them. The US State Department said he and his family will get visas. President Lula called his departure "shameful".
Why it matters
The case tests relations between Brazil and the Trump administration and affects an ongoing money-laundering inquiry in Brazil.
Background
Lula won the October 25 runoff against Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Flávio is under investigation in a money-laundering case.
