President Donald Trump’s electoral campaign strategist, Jason Miller, reacted to an interview by the Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes, on Monday (18), to Washington Postwhere the magistrate challenged the sanctions imposed by the US.
“Don’t worry. We are watching,” Miller said in response to a publication by federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), who has been in the United States since March 2025.
This is not the first time that the electoral strategist – who has been arrested in Brazil by order of the minister himself – quotes Moraes. On the last day 10 Jason Miller had been aiming to fight for the “freedom of former President Jair Messias Bolsonaro” (PL), who is under house arrest.
“To make it clear, I won’t stop, I won’t give up, I will never give up until President Jair Bolsonaro is free,” he wrote on his profile X.
Still on the 10th, Miller had shared the news, published by the The globethat the Ministers of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) in Brazil would be “terrified” with the Magnitsky Law – applied in Moraes on July 30.
Added to the dissemination of the news, he wrote “Libertem Bolsonaro … or more.” The short post was closed with emoji from a target, indicating that the other ministers would be in the sights of the magnitsky law.
Interview from Moraes to the post
On Monday, Moraes, besides challenging the sanctions imposed by the US, reiterated in the interview that he will continue conducting the lawsuits against Jair Bolsonaro and his supporters, without making room for setbacks. “There is no possibility of retreating even a millimeter,” he said.
“We will receive the prosecution, we will analyze the evidence, and whoever has to be condemned will be convicted, who has to be acquitted will be acquitted,” he said.
In the interview, Moraes minimized the restrictions, said he was acting to “defend democracy in Brazil” and that “there is no way to retreat from what we should do. I say this with complete tranquility.”
According to Washington PostMoraes, “empowered by the Federal Supreme Court to investigate digital, verbal and physical threats against the democratic order in Brazil, has become a national authority on its own, as well as a unique figure in the global scenario: a sheriff of democracy.”
The newspaper recalled that Moraes suspended social networking platforms in Brazil-such as X, which led him to a clash against Elon Musk, owner of the platform, which even called him “Darth Vader do Brasil”. The interview also mentioned that the minister ordered the arrest of parliamentarians and the removal of the governor of the Federal District, Ibaneis Rocha (MDB), after the acts of January 8, 2023.
Miller has also commented on Brazilian politics situations
On the last day 7, the former advisor compared President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) to former US President Joe Biden and said the petista would have a “brain of mashed banana.”
The reaction came after publication of an interview from Lula to the agency Reuters. “The day my intuition says Trump is ready to talk, I will not hesitate to call him,” Lula told the agency at that time.
After the repercussion of speech, Miller wrote in X that “Lula is the Biden of the Tropics”, in reference to the questions about Biden’s physical and mental health during the term that ended last year.
Already on July 22, Miller criticized the decision of the Supreme Court Minister (STF) Alexandre de Moraes who prohibited former President Jair Bolsonaro from giving interviews that were released on social networks.
In sharing a note from the Brazilian Superior Court, Miller stated that the action would be unbelievable. “Alexandre de Moraes again takes all the ‘credit’ for political persecution against President Jair Bolsonaro. Moraes wants the whole world to know that he rules Brazil, not Lula,” wrote the American.
Jason Miller was arrested by order of Moraes
Considered the right arm of President Trump, Jason Miller has been following the situation of Brazilian politics in recent years and was even arrested in Brazil in 2021, by order of Moraes.
The businessman, who was at Brasilia Airport at the time, was taken to give testimony to the Federal Police (PF) under the inquiry of undemocratic acts, which investigates former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Donald Trump’s campaign strategist remained silent. Then he had the return to the United States released.
