Brazilian Prosecutors File Criminal Complaint Against Glenn Greenwald
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Brazil, federal prosecutors have filed a criminal complaint against
journalist and Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald, after The Intercept
published the "Secret Brazil Archive." The series offers new and damning
insight into the sweeping anti-corruption campaign that brought down
former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and paved the way
for the election of right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro. The move to
file a criminal complaint against Greenwald has sparked international
outrage, and many are condemning the move as an attack on the free press
in Brazil. We'll go to Brazil for more on this story later in the
broadcast.
