When Peter Navarro reported to prison he had a press conference at a strip mall across the street. Navarro claimed his case represents an "unprecedented assault" on the separation of powers and executive privilege.
He was sentenced to four months in prison on March 19th. He appealed both his conviction and the trial judge's decision to enforce his sentence as the appeal was further litigated...denied.
Navarro has long held that he thought he was bound by executive privilege when he refused to comply with the committee's demands, but the judge overseeing his case ruled there was no evidence that the privilege was actually invoked.
This should be a dynamic and enlightening speech by Peter Navarro who, as a Trump administration official, encouraged President Donald Trump to implement trade-protectionist policies.
