Brazil's Supreme Court on Friday rejected former President Jair Bolsonaro's appeal for it to reconsider a previous decision barring him from traveling to the U.S. to attend the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes said in the ruling that Bolsonaro holds no position that would allow him to represent Brazil at the event.

Former President Jair Bolsonaro's defense filed a request late on Thursday with Brazil's highest court to urgently reconsider the decision to bar him from traveling to the United States to attend the U.

After Justice Alexandre de Moraes’ refusal Thursday, the former president’s defense appealed against the ruling that prevented him from traveling to the US for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
