By Ricardo Brito and Maria Carolina Marcello Brazil's top federal prosecutor will level corruption charges against President Michel Temer one at a time instead of making all the accusations at once, a strategy aimed at weakening his defence, a source with direct knowledge of the process told Reuters on Friday.Under Brazilian law, any criminal charges against a sitting president must be approved by two-thirds of the lower house of Congress in order for the Supreme Court to put a leader on trial.Top prosecutor Rodrigo Janot is expected to charge Temer with receiving bribes early next week.
