Navarro completes sentence, to speak at Republican National Convention.

On Wednesday, July 17th, Peter Navarro, former trade advisor to Donald Trump, was released from Miami federal prison and was set to deliver a speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee that evening.

It is expected that he will convey a message of national unity, which has emerged as a common theme for Republicans following the attempted assassination of the president before last Saturday.

An anonymous source familiar with the schedule revealed that Navarro would deliver his speech at 6 p.m. Central Time. The news of Navarro’s speech at the Republican National Convention was first reported by the Associated Press.

In his first interview after being released from the Florida prison, Navarro told the Associated Press, “To win the election, we not only need to unite the Republican Party but also the entire country. I want to reach out to disillusioned Democratic Party members who are unhappy with the radical left.”

Navarro stated that many mainstream Democrats had “been disenfranchised, lost interest in the radical left, and are repulsed.” He said, “Unity is the message I want to convey.”

Navarro believes that Democrats are a potentially fertile voting bloc for Trump, and he plans to make a strong effort to win their support in his speech at the convention.

Regarding himself, Navarro stated that he was just one example of the justice system being politically weaponized to punish political opponents, “I am just a small part of a bigger problem.”

He also remarked, “If we do not control the government, the government will control us.”

Last year, Navarro defied subpoenas during a House committee investigation into the January 6th events and Trump’s attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, resulting in contempt of Congress charges and a four-month prison sentence.

Navarro reported to federal prison authorities in March of this year, becoming the first member of Trump’s inner circle to be imprisoned for offenses related to the events at the Capitol on January 6th and efforts to overturn the election.

Before reporting to prison, Navarro criticized the judge and jury who handled his case and rejected his appeals, accusing them of conspiring with Democratic officials to “politicize the judiciary” and stated that he would “draw strength from it.”

Trump has repeatedly stated that Navarro is a “good person,” a “great patriot,” who has been subjected to “very unfair treatment.”

Similarly, former White House advisor Steve Bannon was also sentenced to four months in prison for defying congressional subpoenas and reported to a prison in Danbury, Connecticut on July 1st.

In recent years, some Republican members of the House have been working to rewrite the narrative of the Capitol attack, overturn the convictions of hundreds of individuals involved in the attack, and have called on federal courts to intervene in Bannon’s case.

One Republican member of the House has directly petitioned the Supreme Court, claiming that the entire process of the House select committee is tainted and must be rejected.

Additionally, four Trump allies are serving sentences for obstruction of justice, violating campaign finance laws, fraud, and other charges related to the former president’s 2016 campaign, his real estate empire, and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Trump himself is charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice, leading a nationwide campaign to reverse his losses in states won by Joe Biden and failing to stop his supporters, the court-charged “mobs,” from storming the Capitol.

The House committee spent 18 months investigating the January 6th events, interviewing over 1,000 witnesses, holding 10 hearings, and obtaining over a million pages of documents. Ultimately, they concluded that Trump was involved in a “multi-faceted conspiracy” to overturn his loss to Biden in the election and failed to take action to prevent his supporters from attacking the Capitol.

Trump insists he did nothing wrong.

Trump pledged that if elected, he would grant clemency to hundreds of individuals facing criminal charges for their involvement in the January 6th events. He referred to the defendants of the January 6th events as “hostages.”
