Washington Post: Impeachment process for Brazil’s president on hold over voting questions
RIO DE JANEIRO — The impeachment process against Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff was abruptly halted Monday after the leader of Brazil's lower house agreed to annul last month's vote by lawmakers to put her on trial.
