WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday refused to halt a prison sentence for former Trump White House official Peter Navarro as he appeals his contempt of Congress conviction. Navarro is due to report Tuesday to a federal prison for a four-month sentence, after being found guilty of misdemeanor charges for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. He had asked to stay free while he appealed his conviction. Navarro has maintained that he couldn’t cooperate with the committee because former President Donald Trump had invoked executive privilege. Lower...

Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro must report to prison on Tuesday as scheduled, after the Supreme Court on Monday denied the stay of his sentence. Chief Justice John Roberts, in a short opinion, wrote that he saw "no reason to disagree" with lower courts, which also rejected Navarro's request. Navarro's appeal on the merits remains pending, but he will have to begin serving his sentence in the meantime. Navarro was ordered on March 11 to report to prison in Miami on Tuesday, to serve a four-month sentence. He was convicted in September of two counts of contempt of...

On Thursday Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist confirmed our reporting from February last year. A new book from Mike Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman admits that a widely misunderstood phone call, on which Willis’ political prosecution rests, was illegally recorded. That means the entire prosecution could crumble with defendants having a new avenue to challenge Democrat lawfare.

Former Trump advisor Peter Navarro was on Thursday sentenced to four months in prison for refusing to comply with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Navarro was convicted in September on two counts of contempt of Congress — one for failing to produce documents related to the probe and another for skipping his deposition. Prosecutors argued Thursday that Navarro showed “utter disregard” for the House committee’s probe and “utter contempt for the rule of law.” They asked the judge to impose a six-month prison term.

Federal prosecutors are recommending Peter Navarro, a former White House economic adviser to former President Donald Trump, be sentenced to six months in prison after being convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress. Navarro was convicted in September when a Washington, DC, jury determined he “willfully failed to comply with the House January 6 Committee’s subpoena when he refused to testify before the committee and produce documents,” as Breitbart News noted at the time.

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that she was “shaken” by the evidence in the federal indictment of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) because she has worked with him for decades. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “He had cash in the walls and cash in the closets. It’s just so in your face that it’s disgraceful. It’s disgraceful, and why do you think you can get away with it? I’m tired of hearing about Supreme Court justices taking luxury trips with billionaires. Navarro said, “I can tell you I have worked with him time and time again, brought...

CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger said Thursday on “The Lead” that former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon deserve jail time after being found guilty of contempt of Congress. Reacting to Navarro’s conviction, Kinzinger said, “It’s great. It’s sad that we have to get to this. I mean, the role of the people’s house is to do things like investigations, and especially on something as important as January 6th, as serious as January 6th. And we have people, we had many people – he’s obviously one of them – that simply refused to...

CNN — Former Donald Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro has been convicted of contempt of Congress for not complying to a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Navarro is the second ex-aide to former President Donald Trump to be prosecuted for his lack of cooperation with the committee. Steve Bannon was convicted last year on two contempt counts. Bannon’s case is currently on appeal. Prosecutors told the jury during closing arguments Thursday that Navarro “made a choice” not to comply with a February 2022 subpoena. Justice Department attorney Elizabeth Aloi...

When in the course of human events, a woke partisan mob, in collaboration with Wall Street globalists, social media oligarchs, and a propagandist corporate media seize the reins of power, it becomes necessary for the people most victimized to throw these rascals out. To this end, we hold these truths to be self-evident: American taxpayers are entitled to a fair return on the investments they make through tax payments and sound governance. They must not be treated as instruments of a Marxian redistribution of income to advance Leftist causes. A country in which only a minority of its citizens pays...

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that the Faith & Freedom Coalition convention should be named the “your faith takes away my freedom” convention. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “What was shocking to me was the hypocrisy of the evangelical community, booing at the truth. I mean, we can all have differences of opinions, but the facts remain the same. And, he did these things, so it’s almost like they were going, ‘la la la la la la la la’ like little kids, because they’re still going to vote for him.”

Ana Navarro-Cárdenas, a co-host of ABC’s The View, posted a racist comment on Twitter early Sunday, slamming “rich white ppl” who pay to join former President Donald Trump’s “tacky” Mar-a-Lago club. Navarro-Cárdenas tweeted a photo from Trump’s indictment, which prosecutors released Friday, and which shows boxes of documents in a bathroom that has a chandelier. She added race to a comment on décor:

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that the possibility of former President Donald Trump getting indicted by the Justice Department makes her “downright gleeful.” Discussing Trump getting a target letter from the Justice Department, co-host Sunny Hostin said, “The worst thing you can get when you’re a potential criminal defendant is a target letter because we used to call it bug, beer, turn. Either your phone is bugged, you’re going to turn and cooperate, or baby, you are it. That’s the target letter. The target letter basically says you are the target of a Department of...

Navarro said, “That is the thing about Donald Trump really, is he has this ability to hone in on people’s defects, and say things that stick, right? Little Marco, Lying Ted, Low Energy Jeb, we all remember these things. I think he’s hitting with Ron DeSantis, that he really does lack charisma, he does lack personality. Ron DeSantis better hope that winning and governing is not about entertainment because he’s certainly not entertaining.”

Former Trump administration adviser Peter Navarro revealed that the ex-president was allegedly deceived into believing that Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot was a “true vaccine” while blaming Antony Fauci for hiding sensitive information regarding the COVID origin. Fauci and Pfizer “didn’t disclose the side effects of that [vaccine]” to Trump, Navarro said in a May 4 podcast by Patrick Bet-David on YouTube. “And they weren’t clear with him. They made him think that it was a true vaccine when it’s not. It’s mRNA technology.” Traditional vaccines work by introducing a harmless piece of bacteria or virus into the human body to trigger...

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has a “sugar daddy” while discussing Harlan Crow. Co-host Joy Behar said, “Cornyn, a Republican, says basically, it’s a racist attack, which is what he said when he was appointed to the Supreme Court, back in the day, when Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment. And they said it was a high-tech lynching of a Black man then, and now they’re also saying it’s racist. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “They use the black card more than I do.”

Monday on ABC’s “The View,” Ana Navarro led her co-hosts and audience in a “na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye” chant after news broke that Fox News and Tucker Carlson have ended their business relationship. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “Welcome back, word has come down that Fox News media and Tucker have agreed to part ways.”

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” Navarro said, “It really bothers me, though, to hear Trump and his minions talk about trying to extort the American legal system, try to extort the American people, threaten them, be thugs about it and say, if you arrest me, there’s going to be protests. If you arrest me, there’s going to be bedlam and people go on this, you know, kind of echo this message and say, you know, you shouldn’t arrest him because it’s going to embolden his supporters. It’s all a political prosecution. No what would be...

Ana Navarro said Monday on ABC’s “The View” said Fox News goes after Vice President Kamala Harris because they “can’t stand that she’s the first woman of color vice president.” Navarro said, “I don’t know what the hell is wrong with Democrats. Here’s the bottom line Joe Biden is going to be your nominee. Stop talking about how old he is, and Kamala Harris is going to be your vice president. Stop fretting. Stop wringing your hands and get behind your ticket. On the other side, the alternative the Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis. You tell me what you prefer?”

Ana Navarro, a CNN analyst and co-host of ABC’s “The View” criticized President Biden over what she called an insufficient effort to reach Hispanic voters. “I’ll tell you something, the Biden administration sucks at tooting their own horn. I told them this to their own face,” Navarro said during a discussion on “CNN Tonight.” “Look, they’ve done things like issue temporary protective status for Venezuelans, which is a very big deal for the Hispanic community. But they don’t toot their own horn.” Former president Trump, by comparison, Navarro argued, “did very little things,” for the Hispanic community, but did a...
