247 - Abraham Weintraub, the worst education minister in Brazilian history, has fled to the United States. The information was provided by his brother Arthur. "Thank you all for your prayers and support. My brother is in the USA."

Weintraub risks being arrested for advocating the imprisonment of the "scoundrels of the Supreme Federal Court" and for being linked to the scheme of attacks on institutions and the dissemination of fake news.

Abraham Weintrau's dismissal has not yet been published in the Official Gazette of the Union. On Thursday (18), he announced, alongside Jair Bolsonaro, that he was leaving the ministry after accepting an invitation to take up a management position at the World Bank, where he is also expected to be rejected.
