An investigation initiated by the Federal Police has brought to light signs of crimes allegedly committed by President Michel Temer and other representatives of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB) in the lower house.
José Yunes, special adviser at the president's office, asked President Michel Temer permission to step down from his post.
The runoff of the mayoral elections on Sunday (Oct. 30) has seen the waning of Workers' Party (PT) and a growth of the PSDB, its biggest adversary in the past 15 years.
