BRASILIA (Reuters) - A vocal critic of President Jair Bolsonaro is expected to lead a congressional inquiry on the government s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, five sources told Reuters, a blow to the far-right leader s chances of emerging unscathed from the scrutiny.
The probe will investigate whether Bolsonaro s handling of the pandemic has been negligent.
Renan Calheiros, a former president of the Senate who has clashed with Bolsonaro, is expected to lead the inquiry, said the sources, requesting anonymity because the decision is not final.
