Trade and Industry Minister Fernando Pimentel is being pressured to explain his sudden personal wealth... earning over $1mn in consultant's fees.
Six members of President Dilma Rousseff's cabinet have resigned since January...most of them holdovers from President Lula's tenure.
But Pimentel was appointed by Dilma and is a member of her party.
Rousseff herself is currently riding a wave of 71% approval.
