For context, he was indicted in June of 2022. That’s a long time for this scumbag to be free, and I’m looking forward to when that stops.
goddamn and he wont even be sentenced until 2024. Someone remind congress they have the authority to immediately arrest for contempt of congress through the Sergeant at Arms
Steve Bannon was already found guilty and sentenced, but remains free while appealing. What’s the point of having a justice system if these people can put off consequences for years and years until eventually securing a pardon?
it ain’t the system, it’s the people in it not using it. Like I said congress explicitly has the authority to immediately enforce contempt of congress charges with imprisonment. Also the DoJ, or Merrick Garland at least, has to be compromised in some way. My bet is he’s in on the Epstein trafficking ring but that’s still a guess.
this is why they continue to break law after law
Entering the “FO” phase of his life…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump White House official Peter Navarro was convicted Thursday of contempt of Congress charges for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The verdict came after a short trial for Navarro, who served as a White House trade adviser under President Donald Trump and later promoted the Republican’s baseless claims of mass voter fraud in the 2020 election he lost.
Navarro was the second Trump aide to face contempt of Congress charges after former White House adviser Steve Bannon.
Defense attorney Stanley Woodward moved for a mistrial, saying that the jurors had taken an outdoor break near where protesters and media regularly gather outside the courthouse and came back with a verdict shortly after.
A judge has ruled the executive privilege argument isn’t a defense against the charges, finding Navarro couldn’t show that Trump had invoked it.
The House Jan. 6 committee finished its work in January, after a final report that said Trump criminally engaged in a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 election and failed to act to stop a mob of his supporters from attacking the Capitol.
The original article contains 475 words, the summary contains 197 words. Saved 59%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
He thought he was above the courts and having to answer to them. Bye criminal.
What are we up to now? How many convictions have come from the Trump White House house… so far?
