The Brazilian president remains defiant a few hours after the country’s top prosecutor officially charged him with financial corruption.
Michel Temer has dismissed the corruption charges as fiction, saying there is no incriminating evidence against him. He is the first sitting president of Brazil to face criminal charges. Temer is accused of accepting bribes and paying hush money to silence a jailed politician. Before Temer is brought to trial, the lower house of Congress must first give its approval to the move. According to the latest polls, Temer's popularity has plunged to seven percent.
