BRASILIA, March 12 (Reuters) - Brazil's Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira told a Supreme Court Justice that a planned visit from a Trump administration official to imprisoned former President Jair Bolsonaro could be an "interference" in the country's internal affairs, a document seen by Reuters showed on Thursday.
Lawyers for Bolsonaro asked the Brazilian Supreme Court on Tuesday to allow Darren Beattie, who was recently tapped by U.S. President Donald Trump for a senior advisory role overseeing Brazil, to visit him in prison next week.
Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year prison sentence since November for plotting a coup against his successor, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
