Oposição vai à sessão no Congresso dos EUA sobre censura no Brasil

Poder360 reported on May 7, 2024 that nine Brazilian opposition lawmakers and former deputy Deltan Dallagnol (Novo-PR) traveled to the U.S. to attend the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee session 'Brazil: a crisis of democracy, freedom, and the rule of law?'; they were not witnesses, but guests of the U.S. Congress on an Official Mission; the lawmakers' trip was paid for by the Chamber of Deputies and, in Dallagnol's case, with his own funds. The text adds that the committee chairman, Chris Smith, criticized Moraes and President Lula.

Excerpt: “No caso de Dallagnol, a viagem foi custeada com recursos próprios.”

Limitations: A single report; it does not indicate the source of the information on funding nor who extended the invitation to Dallagnol. The photo caption lists six deputies and Chris Smith, without Dallagnol: presence in the photo is not recorded. Discrepancy with Novo (a party source), which says Dallagnol 'promoted' the mission. Smith is identified as chairman of the committee and of the human rights subcommittee (Poder360).
