To help Democrats, Biden’s Department of Justice brought the hammer down on Peter Navarro for engaging in conduct that was not even remotely criminal. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released a series of emails from 2022 showing the FBI attempted to crush a member of the first Trump administration for refusing to bow to the Jan. 6 Committee’s unlawful demands. Grassley explains the emails in an April 29 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel. “My office has obtained Biden administration emails regarding the investigation and later prosecution of Peter Navarro,” Grassley wrote....

As I thought, President Trump is off to a great start thanks to the much better team of people he now has compared to last time. One exception: he brought back Peter Navarro, allowing him to design the massive April 2nd tariff orders. Dr. Navarro for most of his career was a Hillary Clinton Democrat who promoted terrible economic ideas, just like fellow Ph.D. economist Paul Krugman.His obsession is protective barriers that will bring back manufacturing to America, especially autos. But he is about 50 years behind the times. He still thinks it’s 1970 and Japan and Germany, with brand...

Peter Navarro, the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for President Donald Trump, tells Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow that virtually all new jobs created during the Biden administration went to newly arrived migrants who poured across the United States-Mexico border.During an exclusive sit-down interview with Marlow at the White House for The Alex Marlow Show podcast, Navarro explained mass immigration’s close relationship to free trade, where the cost of labor plummets, dragging down Americans’ wages.“Both capital and labor are mobile, okay. Now think about that. So, depending on conditions, you’re in Britain, right, labor is mobile, and the next...

Elon Musk took multiple shots at Peter Navarro in reaction to a clip of the trade advisor defending President Donald Trump’s tariffs amid steep declines in the stock market. Musk has remained fairly silent on Trump’s tariff announcement as stocks, including Musk’s, have taken major hits. Tesla stock fell 10% by Friday, erasing billions in Musk’s wealth. Markets closed on Friday with the week marking the worst trading week in five years. Navarro, a senior counselor to the president, has been among the White House officials passionately defending the tariff strategy, insisting a manufacturing boom in the United States is...

The Trump administration's senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, Peter Navarro, suggested on Sunday that the tariffs on automobiles, which are set to go into effect "on or after April 2," would raise $100 billion, ostensibly in a year.Responding to a question from "Fox News Sunday" that the tariffs, according to Investopedia, would raise car prices for consumers, Navarro discounted the concern, offering instead that tariffs represent "tax cuts." They are "jobs," he added, "tariffs are national security; tariffs are great. For America, tariffs will make America great again."Addressing the concern of tariffs among consumers, Navarro pointed to "when we...

Peter Navarro, a senior trade adviser to President Trump, said the president’s tariff plan will raise more than $6 trillion in federal revenue over the next decade. Navarro joined “Fox News Sunday,” where host Shannon Bream noted that Americans are concerned that Trump’s tariffs are going to raise the price of everyday goods. “First of all, we’re going to raise about $100 billion with the auto tariffs alone. What we’re going to do is, in the new tax bill that has to pass, it absolutely has to pass, we’re going to provide tax benefits, tax credits, to the people who...

Elon Musk has split with Donald Trump on tariffs in the latest sign the billionaire is distancing himself from the White House. The president's special adviser told a political rally he hopes to see a 'zero tariff situation' between the US and Europe to create a free trade zone. On Wednesday, Trump introduced a controversial 20 percent tariff for Europe along with even higher tariffs for other global trading partners as what he dubbed 'Liberation Day'. But while the president has been pushing US isolationism, Musk espoused a more collaborative approach. 'I hope that the United States and Europe can...

Trump selects Peter Navarro as Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing.Trump says Navarro was "treated horribly by the Deep State" and that Navarro will advance Trump's "manufacturing, tariff and trade agenda."

Kelly’s sensational claims about the president highlight his incompetence, mismanagement, and contempt for the chain of command. No one knows former Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly better than I do. This bitter, bullying coward should be cast into the dustbin of history for once again smearing Donald Trump, just days before the most important election in modern American history. It may seem reasonable to assume a four-star general would make a good chief of staff, but that assumption is deeply flawed. Kelly invariably hated those closest to Trump. As chief of staff, he single-handedly turned Trump allies into bitter...

Former Trump advisor Peter Navarro blasted The Heritage Foundation’s “terrible” Project 2025 in a new interview on the Liberty Report with Liberty Sentinel CEO Alex Newman, adding a colorful repudiation to a mountain of criticism already pronounced against the controversial policy proposal.“Project 2025 is dead on arrival,” Navarro said. “It’s a trojan horse funded by globalists that uses some legitimate Trump policies as a veneer and then throws in a bunch of weird stuff that doesn’t reflect Trump policy at all.” (snip) “Way back when they first started, they came to me and said, ‘We want you to write the...

Former President Trump's White House advisor Peter Navarro walked onto the Republican National Convention main stage to a standing ovation, cheers, screams, and chants of "Fight!" In March, Navarro reported to federal prison in Miami to serve out his four-month sentence for contempt of Congress, after he refused to testify in front of the January 6 Committee and break executive privilege. On Wednesday, Navarro was released just hours before and flew into Milwaukee a political prisoner who had sacrificed for his president and his country. You folks just wanna know if you can see my MAGA tattoo that I got...

Incredible audience reception. Delivers fiery speech. Brings wife onstage at the end. "I went to prison so you won't have to." "We got this."

As former President Donald Trump’s former adviser Peter Navarro is released from prison Wednesday, his next move in his newly found freedom looks to be speaking at the Republican National Convention. Navarro completed his four-month prison sentence for defying a congressional subpoena to testify before the Jan. 6 committee. He is expected to travel quickly from federal prison in Miami to Milwaukee in order to address the RNC, according to CNN.He recently said he has “no regrets” about actions that led to his prison sentence in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.“I have no regrets,” Navarro said. “I didn’t...

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.That’s according to two people familiar with the event’s schedule who spoke on condition of anonymity to share details before they were formally announced. Navarro is set to be released from a Miami prison on Wednesday, July 17, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ online database of current inmates. That would give him just enough time to board a plane and make it to...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 Here is part of the new resolution declaring the J6 Select Committee illegitimate and seeking to rescind subpoenas for Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Mark Meadows, and Dan Scavino. The resolution also asks Congress to nullify the vote to hold all 4 in contempt of Congress:

The Daily Caller was able to interview Peter Navarro, one of the first people in the Trump circle that the Democrats were able to imprison. Navarro is in prison because, like Steve Bannon (also going to prison), Hunter Biden (not going to prison), and Merrick Garland (not going to prison), he refused to abide by a congressional subpoena. However, the feds may rue the day they thought it was a good idea to lock him up because Navarro has now seen and is working to expose the government’s cruel and expensive prison mismanagement. I urge you to read the whole...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec Garland just said the president can extend presidential privilege to keep individuals from being held in criminal contempt from Congress

BREAKING: I was informed today by the Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons that my request to interview @RealPNavarro would be denied. And her reason is that Peter Navarro is “too notorious” to be interviewed by a member of Congress! John Gotti was interviewed in prison. The QAnon Shaman was interviewed in prison. Director Peters HERSELF brought NBC News THROUGH PRISONS to showcase the work of corrections that’s being done! This only vindicates the claim made by Peter Navarro that he is being held as a political prisoner.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes on Friday sharply criticized the Department of Justice for instructing its personnel not to comply with subpoenas from the House Judiciary Committee while pursuing charges against former Trump officials who defied congressional subpoenas. Reyes, an appointee of President Joe Biden, oversaw a hearing in a legal dispute between the DOJ and Judiciary Committee over subpoenas the panel issued to Mark Daly and Jack Morgan, two attorneys with the DOJ, to testify in their ongoing impeachment inquiry, Politico reported. The Judiciary Committee sued in March to compel testimony from the two attorneys in the DOJ Tax...

A federal judge on Friday ripped DOJ prosecutors for ignoring Hunter Biden-related subpoenas while pointing out that Trump’s top advisor is in prison for defying a subpoena issued by House members. In September former Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro, 74, was convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena in Liz Cheney’s January 6 investigation. Navarro did not comply with the subpoena because he said Trump told him to assert executive privilege. Hunter Biden blatantly defied a congressional subpoena and nothing happened to him. He is a free man while Navarro sits in prison. US...
