Brazil's president survives suspension vote over bribery charge

Brazil's embattled president, Michel Temer, survived a key congressional vote that could have resulted in his suspension on a bribery charge on Wednesday. Temer needed just 171 members or one-third of the 513 person lower Chamber of Deputies to avoid disaster, and 263 deputies wound up supporting him, with just 227 voting against him and the rest abstaining or missing the vote altogether. Temer's triumph could be short-lived, however, as Attorney General Rodrigo Janot is expected to move on to charging Temer with obstruction of justice by the end of the month, which would prompt a second vote as the chamber's members get closer to a 2018 election in which all of their seats are on the line.
