NEW YORK (AP) — Former White House trade advisor Peter Navarro , who is currently in jail on contempt of Congress charges, is expected to speak at next week's Republican National Convention just hours after his release.
NEW YORK — Former White House trade advisor Peter Navarro, who is currently in jail on contempt of Congress charges, is expected to speak at next week's Republican National Convention just hours after his release.
The decision to include Navarro on the program suggests convention organizers may not shy away from those who have been charged with crimes related to the attack — and the lies that helped spur it — at the party's nominating event, which will draw millions of viewers across days of prime-time programming.
He has maintained that he couldn’t cooperate with the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack because the former president had invoked executive privilege. But the court rejected that argument, finding Navarro couldn’t prove Trump actually had. Navarro had asked to stay free while he appealed his conviction to give the courts time to consider his challenge. But Washington’s federal appeals court denied his bid to stave off his sentence, finding his appeal wasn’t likely to reverse his conviction.
