TL;DR

- Moraes was initially assigned as rapporteur for a lawsuit requesting disclosure of Senate entry and exit records, which included his wife's name.
- The recusal was based on a conflict of interest, as per the Civil Procedure Code.
- A new rapporteur will be chosen by lottery for the case.
- Previous reports indicated over 50 messages exchanged between Moraes and Vorcaro, Moraes editing a contract involving Vorcaro's bank and Viviane's law firm, and a video showing Moraes and his wife disembarking from a jet linked to Vorcaro's companies, contradicting Moraes' prior statement.
