Former Trump Adviser Peter Navarro Tells Eric Bolling He ‘Could Be in Prison Within Less Than 60 Days’

Peter Navarro, the former trade adviser and assistant to former President Donald Trump, told Newsmax host Eric Bolling on Tuesday that he “could be in prison within less than 60 days” after being sentenced to 4 months in jail for contempt of Congress.

During an appearance on Bolling’s show The Balance, Navarro said:

If folks like me, the highest advisers to the president, can’t provide the president with confidential information without worry of having it leaked over to a partisan legislature, he won’t get the best information, and he has to be protected too. So, I have said from the outset on this show that I fully expect this case to go to the Supreme Court. We appealed it within minutes of the prison sentence.

Navarro continued, “But I could be in prison within less than 60 days. That’s what the government, the Biden regime, the Merrick Garland Department of Justice wants. We’ll see what the judge has to say about it, but I think it’s important to point out that I’m the first senior White House aide ever charged with this crime in the history of our republic.”

After Bolling interrupted, “Didn’t Eric Holder get charged with it as well?” Navarro replied, “Eric Holder was not a senior adviser to the president subject to the kind of executive privilege I am.”
