“E mais: já que ele falou em algumas particularidades, mais de uma vez, o senhor Sergio Moro falou para mim: você pode trocar o Valeixo, sim, mas em novembro, depois que o senhor me indicar para o Supremo Tribunal Federal. Me desculpa, mas não é por aí.”
Portal translation: And furthermore: since he mentioned some particulars, more than once, Mr. Sergio Moro told me: you can replace Valeixo, yes, but in November, after you nominate me to the Supreme Federal Court. Sorry, but that's not how it goes.
The translation is the portal's; the original text, in Portuguese, is the one that prevails.
Context
Bolsonaro states that Moro made Valeixo's replacement conditional on his being nominated to the Supreme Federal Court (STF).
