RIO DE JANEIRO/BRASILIA - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said he was unwilling to see his family get"screwed" because of his inability to change law enforcement officials, according to a video released on Friday set to deepen the political crisis surrounding the president.

"If you can't change , change his boss. You can't change the boss? Change the minister. End of story. We're not kidding around," he added. The public airing of the video comes at a bad time for Bolsonaro. His political woes have led to rumblings about impeachment. Before becoming president, Bolsonaro represented Rio state as a federal lawmaker for nearly 30 years. His son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, also got his start there, and is under investigation over allegations of corruption.
