BREAKING: Trump Advisor Peter Navarro Turns Himself In To Prison Following Defiance Of January 6 Committee

On Tuesday, former Trump advisor Peter Navarro reported to the Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Miami to begin his four-month prison sentence after he was convicted of two counts of Contempt of Congress in September for defying a subpoena from the House Select Committee On The January 6th Capitol Riot. Navarro, who served in the Trump White House as an assistant to the president on trade and manufacturing policy, attempted to argue that executive privilege allowed him to defy the congressional subpoena.

"Let's talk about some facts here. I am the first senior White House advisor in the history of our Republic that has ever been charged with this alleged crime and I say alleged because for hundreds of years this has not been a crime and for 50 years the Department of Justice has maintained the principle of absolute testimonial immunity and it was only with my case that somehow that has changed," Navarro told reporters in a press conference before he turned himself in.

"I will walk proudly in there to do my time. I will gather strength from this: Donald John Trump is the nominee," Navarro said. The top Trump advisor attempted to ask the Supreme Court for a reprieve earlier this month, but the motion was rejected.

President Trump had previously commented on the charges against his former aid, writing on Truth Social last year, "I can't believe that these Fascist Monsters have so viciously gone after the great Peter Navarro for defying the totally partisan January 6th Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs, who refused to go after Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and the reasons she and the Mayor of D.C. REJECTED 10,000 soldiers, which would have easily stopped any future security problem. His testimony wouldn't have mattered, anyway, because the "Committee" QUICKLY and ILLEGALLY DELETED & DESTROYED ALL EVIDENCE & FINDINGS!"

"There was MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, evidence and findings that the Unselect Committee DID NOT WANT SEEN," Trump continued. "This deleted and destroyed evidence is a big part of my defense, and the defense of many others. They should be the ones who are prosecuted, not Peter Navarro who, by the way, was single greatest trade negotiator against China, who paid the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars during the Trump Administration (never paid ten cents before us!). Only China is celebrating the Navarro conviction!"

"God Bless Great American Trade Negotiator & Patriot, Peter Navarro," Trump added. "He brought billions of dollars into our Country, and now the lunatic Marxists & Fascists want him in jail because of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs. In the end, it will all work out, and we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

NEW: Biden's Justice Department shatters historical precedent imprisoning Trump Trade Advisor Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress, destroying a 250-year tradition of honoring executive privilege.
