BRASILIA (Reuters) -Lawyers for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro told the Supreme Court on Tuesday that he did not violate a court-ordered social media ban, after the top judge accused him of breaching the order and demanded an explanation from his lawyers.

A court ruled that Bolsonaro made the speech to news outlets with the intent of it being circulated on social media, violating a ban. Meanwhile, the nation debates if such a ban should include news interviews.
