SAO PAULO Brazils new acting president is a known U.S. informant who has provided Washington with insider information about the Brazilian government on multiple occasions.
Michel Temers ties to the U.S. government, as revealed by WikiLeaks Public Library of U.S. Diplomacy, add to the growing body of evidence that the parliamentary impeachment of Brazils democratically-elected president, Dilma Rousseff, was supported by allies in Washington.
Temer, who has served as Brazils vice president since 2011, took power Thursday after Brazils parliament suspended Rousseff pending the results of impeachment proceedings.
Via Twitter, WikiLeaks highlighted two diplomatic cables from the U.S. Embassy in São Paulo that document Temers history of sharing insider information with Washington from his position as the leader of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, or PMDB, Brazils largest political party.
