Brazil: President Temer Accused of Soliciting Millions in Illegal Contributions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Brazil, President Michel Temer is facing accusations of soliciting
nearly $3 million in illegal campaign contributions in 2014. The
revelations come only one day after a poll showed the majority of
Brazilians, 63 percent, want Temer to resign. Michel Temer rose to power
earlier this year after the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, in a process
she and others have called a coup.
