Brazil's Congress approves plan to drastically cut Bolsonaro's jail term

Brazil's Congress on Thursday overrode President Lula's veto to drastically reduce former president Jair Bolsonaro's prison sentence for plotting a coup. Bolsonaro, sentenced to 27 years in 2024, could now serve just over two years under the revised law. The override marks the second legislative setback for Lula this week and may face Supreme Court challenge.
