Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing a criminal case against an ally of President Donald Trump, told a court session on Friday that he will continue to do his job and "ignore the sanctions" imposed by the United States that effectively block him from the country's wide-reaching financial system.

Moraes, who oversees the criminal case against ex-president and Trump ally Jair Bolsonaro, is accused of suppressing freedom of expression.
