The 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.

  • Navarro was convicted last September for defying a Democratic-led House committee’s subpoena.


The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

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

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.

Nerd narrative

There's a 50% chance that Trump will be convicted of a felony before the 2024 presidential election, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
