White House Press Secretary Ms. Sarah Sanders confirmed on Monday that members of Mr. Trump’s cabinet had contacted Mr. Jair Bolsonaro’s family in the aftermath of the stabbing attack on the leading presidential candidate in Minas Gerais last week.
The statement was being made after questions arose in the White House daily briefing whether the Republican US President had reached out, called or sent a message to the PSL candidate for the Brazilian presidency.

The news comes at the same moment that Mr. Bolsonaro’s doctors confirmed that he would need more major surgery after he was stabbed during a campaign rally on Thursday last week. The 63-year-old remained in intensive care following the attack by a lone assailant with a history in the socialist political party.
