Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro accused the country\u2019s supreme court of persecuting him on Saturday after his appeal against a travel ban was rejected.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm62mp4b20003356mh3o3xjug@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            Speaking at the airport in Brasilia, Bolsonaro, who had called on the Supreme Court to reconsider a previous decision barring him from traveling to the United States to attend the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, said he was facing \u201chuge political persecution by one person.\u201d    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder

data-article-gutter=\"true\">            Bolsonaro\u2019s lawyers had filed an appeal late on Thursday claiming the right-wing politician had fully complied with and respected the precautionary measures imposed on him by the Supreme Court, and also rejected any possibility of him fleeing.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm62mp4b20005356my64qbb01@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            But Justice Alexandre de Moraes hours later upheld an earlier ruling rejecting the former president\u2019s request to have his passport returned, a document seen by Reuters showed.    <\/p>\n<p

data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            Bolsonaro was at the airport to bid farewell to his wife Michelle who will attend Trump\u2019s inauguration.    <\/p>\n<p

data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            Bolsonaro, who has been barred from running for office until 2030 and faces criminal charges for allegedly plotting a coup after his 2022 election defeat, had his passport taken in February 2024 on the order of Brazil\u2019s top court.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\"

Bolsonaro, who governed Brazil from 2019 to 2022 and has been called \u201cTrump of the Tropics,\u201d said on Saturday that he had been invited to Trump\u2019s Jan. 20 inauguration.
