TOPSHOT - Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro (R), sitting next to his lawyer Celso Villardi (L), takes the stand before judge Alexandre de Moraes during a trial session of the Brazilian Supreme Court judging the participation of those accused of the attempted coup d'état in January 2023, in Brasilia, June 10, 2025. Bolsonaro on Tuesday denied any involvement in an alleged coup plot, as he took the stand for the first time in his high-stakes trial. The 70-year-old is answering questions from lawyers and judges on his alleged role in a "criminal organization" that plotted to wrest power from leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who narrowly beat Bolsonaro at the ballot box in 2022.
