Bolsonaro Denies Coup Attempt in Supreme Court Testimony

Imagine the leader of Brazil, Bolsonaro, lost the election.

He is now in court because he is accused of trying to stay in power after losing.

The Supreme Court is investigating if Bolsonaro and others made a plan to change the election results.

Bolsonaro says he did nothing wrong.

They discussed options like using the military, but those plans were stopped.

If found guilty, he could face a long jail time.

A key witness said Bolsonaro reviewed a draft plan.

The court is expected to make a decision by October.
