The scandal involves alleged irregular payments to Flavio Bolsonaro, a senator who is Bolsonaro's eldest son, as well as to Bolsonaro's wife, Michelle Bolsonaro. In the audio, Rezende told a man who claimed to be a university student researching a paper, "This case can put in a bind and ruin Bolsonaro." When asked about documents in the case against Flavio Bolsonaro, widely reported in Brazilian media, Rezende explained she got confidential documents about audits through sources. In the tweet, Bolsonaro said journalists wanted "to topple the government with blackmail, disinformation and leaks." Estado de S. Paulo reported that Rezende was contacted by someone named Alex McAllister, who "was supposedly a student interested in doing a comparative study between Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro."
