BRASILIA, Brazil, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff on Monday defended her record and said she committed no crimes during her impeachment trial in Brasilia's Federal Senate.
Rousseff, accused of breaking budget laws, said her conscience was "absolutely clean," adding that she always honored and upheld Brazil's constitution. The second-term president has accused the Brazilian opposition of attempting to carry out a political coup d'etat against her.
