Navarro STANDS FIRM on Executive Privilege as He Begins Prison Sentence

Peter Navarro, who served as a trade adviser in the Trump White House, has become the first official from this administration to face incarceration. His crime? Refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by a Democrat-led House committee investigating the events of January 6th. Citing executive privilege, Navarro declined to provide requested records for the committee.

Before surrendering himself to Miami authorities on March 19th, Navarro expressed his discontent at a press conference. “As I step into prison today, I believe our justice system is inflicting a severe blow to the constitutional separation of powers and executive privilege,” he stated.

Navarro reiterated his stance that Congress cannot compel testimony from a White House aide and maintained his invocation of executive privilege concerning documents and testimony sought by the subpoena. He justified using “alleged” in reference to his crime because he believes that traditionally, DOJ has upheld absolute immunity for White House officials’ testimonies.

Donning a black shirt and gray jacket across from Miami’s minimum-security prison where he will serve time, Navarro displayed resolve before cameras on March 19th. “I am not nervous,” said Mr. Navarro with conviction. "I am angry.”
