Source: Reuters
WASHINGTON, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Former Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro has applied for a six-month tourist visa to remain in the United States, his lawyer said on Monday, despite calls for any U.S. visas held by Bolsonaro to be revoked following violent protests in Brasilia.
The United States received his application on Friday, his lawyer, Felipe Alexandre, said, adding that Bolsonaro will remain in the United States while his application is pending.
"He would like to take some time off, clear his head, and enjoy being a tourist in the United States for a few months before deciding what his next step will be," Alexandre said in an email response to Reuters.
"Whether or not he will use the full six months will be up to him and whatever strategy we agree to embark on based on his plans as they develop," Alexandre added. The Financial Times first reported that Bolsonaro had requested a tourist visa.

Or is he just doing a little fund raising?

Election deniers and outright opponents of democracy should find no welcome in the United States of America.
If only there were a legal mechanism to strip birthright citizenship from similarly-minded scumbags already present.
