The deadline for Justice Alexandre de Moraes to respond in the Rumble/Trump Media case expired yesterday. No appearance. No request for more time.
The Government of Brazil did appear to argue sovereignty and clarified it did not appear for Moraes. Its own filing says it raises the defense “on its own behalf exclusively,” and its lawyers identify themselves as counsel for the Federative Republic of Brazil, not counsel for Moraes.
To argue Brazilian sovereignty while Moraes simultaneously violates U.S. laws is the right of the Government of Brazil. The federal court in Florida will hear those arguments in due course.
@SecRubio These Bolsonaro boys and Paulo Figueiredo are SPECTACULAR! Congratulations on getting the classifications of TERRORIST groups for PCC and CV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️🇧🇷🇺🇸
Thank you @SecRubio
Primeiro Comando da Capital and Comando Vermelho are two of the most violent criminal organizations in Brazil. Their reach extends throughout our region and into our country.
Today, I designated these organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
The Trump Administration will continue using every available tool to protect our national security interests and deny funding and resources to narco-terrorists.

Since February 2025, Brazilian authorities have been claiming they were ready to defend Justice Alexandre de Moraes in the Rumble/Trump Media case in the United States.
The AGU said it would act, that it was coordinating with U.S. counsel and preparing filings. Then the case advanced for 460 days and nobody showed up in court.
Instead, Brazil’s institutions went to extraordinary lengths to successfully prevent ordinary service of process through the Hague Convention. And now, after a U.S. federal judge authorized email service, a collection of Brazilian authorities are suddenly calling this a diplomatic crisis.
Why did it have to come to this?
If Brazil’s position is that Justice Moraes acted lawfully, within his authority, and in compliance with both U.S. and Brazilian law, as well as international treaties, the path is simply to appear in U.S. court and say so.
What is harder to explain is why announce for fifteen months that Brazil would defend Moraes, then decline to appear when the defense was actually required, and now treat a court authorized summons as an international diplomatic incident?
Helpful timeline of the facts
Brazilian outlets reported as early as February 21, 2025 that the AGU would defend Moraes in the Rumble/Trump Media case. A few days later, on February 25, 2025, the AGU itself published that it “will act” in the case and that the defense would be handled in partnership with an international law firm authorized to practice before U.S. courts. It also said that, at the STF’s request, AGU had already begun arrangements for legal action. https://t.co/4au9Oor1SV
Then, on June 6, 2025, UOL reported that AGU had instructed its office in the United States to monitor the new Rumble/Trump Media process and that the AGU “should present a formal manifestation to the American court if the process advances.”

On July 8, 2025, SBT reported that AGU was preparing “defense drafts” in case it decided to act officially on behalf of Brazil, and noted that once Moraes was officially notified he would have 21 days to respond or seek dismissal.

Yesterday, it was widely reported that the STF is now discussing with AGU, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs how to react to the email service, including possible diplomatic instruments. https://t.co/gOlWoio3fy
Today, pursuant to an order from a U.S. federal court, Rumble and Trump Media served Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes by email.
