Brazil s Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a Senate investigation of President Jair Bolsonaro s handling of the pandemic to go forward, one of two cases it tackled that could affect the leader s bid for reelection next year. The full court also was weighing the political future of former President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva, a potential powerful rival to Bolsonaro. One of the judges earlier ruled he had been unjustly convicted in a corruption case, a decision that effectively reinstated his right to run for the presidency again. The court voted 10-1 Wednesday to uphold Justice Lus Roberto Barroso s order that the Senate should start an investigation of into Bolsonaro s management of the crisis because a required number of senators had sponsored such a call.
