- Bolsonaro fell inside his cell in Brasília, was taken to Hospital DF Star, and was diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury.
- Family members, allies, and his defense argue his health is fragile and seek house arrest, with Izalci posting a video alleging mistreatment and criticizing Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
