Lucas Matheus wrote that a source close to him told him that about 65 GB of new conversations related to the Vorcaro case were in the hands of a few media outlets. He said he was unable to confirm the information independently but stated that the gradual release of the material corresponded to the source's account. According to Matheus, excerpts were being published during the second round and used in political disputes and, at times, to divert attention from other issues. He argued that the material, being of public interest, should be made available in full, citing the release of documents by the DOJ in the Epstein case as a comparison. Matheus accused the Federal Police, the Supreme Federal Court, and the Attorney General's Office of keeping information confidential that, in his assessment, should be public while parts of the content leaked. He also mentioned that there were those who claimed that excerpts were being sold. He criticized the actions of the press and the judiciary, stated that some actors had strong connections—without specifying with whom—and asserted that no one had been held accountable. Finally, he urged the public to question why and how the material was being disclosed at that moment. #Justiça #Transparência #Imprensa (translated)

Regina Laska criticized that Donald Trump had suspended the Russia sanctions that he himself signed in mid-September and which were supposed to come into effect automatically the next day. She wrote that tariffs of up to 100 percent on large consumers of Russian oil and gas, levies of up to 500 percent on Russian goods, and measures against the shadow fleet and banks were planned. Two days before the deadline, Trump resorted to an exception that allowed for a waiver in the national interest; according to Laska, he did not provide a justification. As a possible background, Laska mentioned a diesel deal announced by Trump with Vladimir Putin. The U.S. Treasury Department had granted a license to Russian energy producers for that until April; furthermore, a U.S. government representative said that easing penalties against the shadow fleet was being considered. Laska connected this with the upcoming U.S. elections in two and a half weeks and high fuel prices. However, Trump blamed Ukraine for the prices, claiming they had attacked Russian refineries, she wrote. According to Laska, Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's representative for business with the U.S., was already talking about joint data centers and small nuclear power plants. Dmitriev reportedly said, "the ice is beginning to break." She also pointed out that Congress passed the sanctions by a large majority and that the law was named after Lindsey Graham, who had died in July. She wrote that seven Republican senators had urged Trump to reverse the diesel deal. Regarding Volodymyr Zelensky's reaction to the question in Brussels about whether Trump was making him a scapegoat, Laska wrote that he had remained silent for 15 seconds, grinned, and said, "That is my answer." Laska stated that she concurred with his reaction but refrained from grinning. #Trump #Ukraine #Sanktionen (translated)

I have submitted a statement to Congress that such a repeal is currently in the national interest of the United States.
