Trump Ally Navarro Begins Prison Sentence

Facts

• One day after the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) rejected his attempt to remain free, Peter Navarro, the White House trade advisor to former Pres. Donald Trump, surrendered at a Miami federal prison Tuesday to begin serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.¹
• Navarro was convicted last September for defying a Democratic-led House committee’s subpoena.²
• Navarro defied a subpoena for documents and a deposition from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 riots at the US Capitol while arguing that Trump had invoked executive privilege.³
• Prior to entering the prison, Navarro in an impromptu news conference said he's "afraid" for the country because he believes the prosecutions of him and other Trump allies will "have a chilling effect" on Americans of all political ilks.⁴
• In attempting to delay his sentence, Navarro, 74, has argued that questions surrounding Trump’s presidential immunity put his conviction in doubt. However, SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts agreed with a federal appeals court in denying Navarro's request.⁵

Narratives

• Pro-Trump narrative, as provided by The Post Millennial. Navarro, like Trump, is a victim of the corrupt Biden regime's weaponization of the justice system. Navarro didn't commit a crime, and it's unconstitutional to hold him in prison while he continues to attempt to clear his name. Sadly, Roberts showed he may also be part of the lawfare strategy being used against Trump and his allies.
• Anti-Trump narrative, as provided by The Daily Beast. Navarro should be grateful he's only facing four months behind bars for contempt of Congress instead of the life sentence a treason conviction could bring him for his role in scheduling the Jan. 6 riots. Like Trump, Navarro has shown no regard for the rule of law and even a Republican-leaning SCOTUS disagreed with his pleas for mercy. He must be held accountable.
