What was said

… Oh, there are anomalies in the vote count. Oh, this doesn't, this isn't quite adding up.

What we found

Contradicts. The sources that describe Miller's Bolsonaro-related statement releases identify Flávio Bolsonaro, not Jair Bolsonaro, so the claim's 'Jair Bolsonaro' identification is not supported and conflicts with the sources' referent.[1][2]

Supports. Multiple sources describe Jason Miller as an adviser to Donald Trump, including the Rio Times and Reuters-based reporting in late October 2026.[1][2][3][4]

Supports. The Rio Times reports that Miller posted an English translation of Flávio Bolsonaro's speech on X on 25–26 October 2026, which is a release of Bolsonaro statements by Miller.[2]

Context. Reuters reports Miller helped arrange Flávio Bolsonaro's flight to the US, and Wikipedia says he was reportedly responsible for arranging the flight; neither source says he released Jair Bolsonaro's statements.[1][5]
