In Brazil, President Michel Temer has authorized the deployment of the Army to the capital Brasília amid growing protests demanding the president’s ouster. On Wednesday, tens of thousands of protesters marched to Congress to demand Temer’s resignation. Some demonstrators also torched a ministry building. Multiple protesters were injured as police attacked them with tear gas, stun grenades and rubber-coated steel bullets. Temer is facing mounting calls to resign or be impeached, following explosive testimony released by the Supreme Court accusing him of accepting millions of dollars in bribes since 2010. We’ll have more on Brazil later in the broadcast with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald.
