Brazil high court suspends Rousseff impeachment architect

Brasília (AFP) - A Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Thursday suspended Eduardo Cunha, the powerful lawmaker at the center of efforts to impeach President Dilma Rousseff, for trying to obstruct a probe into his alleged corruption. The speaker of Brazil's lower house of Congress is the architect of the impeachment drive expected to force Rousseff to step aside from office on Wednesday. Cunha's dramatic setback was not expected to change the momentum against Rousseff.
