Brazilian officials announced on Wednesday that the economy's historic recession deepened.

It's the longest recession since the 1930s for Brazil, Latin America's largest economy. Rousseff was suspended in May after both houses of Brazil's Congress voted to begin the impeachment trial against her. Many considered Wednesday's vote a foregone conclusion.
