This won't bode well for Hunter...
He's supposed to testify (behind closed doors) next month. From what I've heard to 2 different committees.

Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro will be sentenced on Thursday for defying a congressional subpoena to cooperate with the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Navarro was convicted in September on one count of contempt of Congress over his refusal to appear for a deposition in front of the committee, and on a second count for refusing to produce documents.

Talked smack about Jan 6 and acted like he was someone special, like he was above the law. He ain't talking shit today.
From the link:
Navarro made a last-ditch appeal for leniency to Mehta, addressing the court even after his lawyers had initially said he wouldn’t. He said he grew confused about the thicket of precedents and rules around executive privilege and believed he didn’t have to comply with Congress’ subpoena.
“I’m a Harvard-educated gentleman, but the learning curve when they come at you with the biggest law firm in the world is very, very steep,” Navarro said.

Judge denies Peter Navarro’s bid to remain out of prison while appealing contempt of Congress case
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday denied Trump White House official Peter Navarro’s bid to remain out of prison while he appeals his contempt of Congress conviction for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Navarro was sentenced last month to four months behind bars after being found guilty of defying a subpoena for documents and a deposition from the House Jan. 6 Committee. He had asked to be free while he fights that conviction in higher courts.
But U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta denied that request, saying Navarro must report to serve his sentence on the date ordered by the Bureau of Prisons, unless the federal appeals court steps in to block Mehta’s order.

It's really amazing how they twist the rule of law to fit their agenda.Ex-Trump DOJ Lawyer "Ambushed" at Disbarment Hearing, "You're Shameless"
Former Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark, who is accused of violating ethics rules by allegedly helping then-president Donald Trump attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election, attended the first day of his disciplinary hearing on Tuesday. A three-member panel of the D.C. Bar's Board of Professional Responsibility will determine whether Clark should face sanctions, which could include disbarment.
[NOTE: Other lawyers working in the private sector on the alleged election subversion, including John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani have faced similar disciplinary charges — Giuliani had his law license revoked in New York and Washington, D.C.. Attorneys Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro and Jenna Ellis pleaded guilty to criminal charges.]
The Clark hearing is focused on a December 28, 2020 letter in which Clark claimed that the DOJ had "identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election" in Georgia and other states, and suggested that state lawmakers should void President Biden’s electoral win.
Disciplinary Counsel Hamilton "Phil" Fox III, who is leading the attorney discipline case against Clark said, “What Mr. Clark was attempting to do was essentially a coup at the Justice Department.”
Clark’s lawyer, Harry MacDougald, argued at the hearing that Clark "at all times attempted to do the right thing."

Meet some of the violent Jan. 6 rioters Donald Trump keeps calling 'hostages'
Trump has made his defense of those incarcerated in Capitol attack cases a central piece of his 2024 campaign. Many are accused of assaulting police. Some others fled.www.nbcnews.com
John Eastman, architect of Trump’s 2020 election plot, should be disbarred, judge rules
A California judge on Wednesday recommended the disbarment of John Eastman, calling to revoke the law license of one of former President Donald Trump’s top allies in his failed last-ditch gambit to subvert the 2020 election.
Judge Yvette Roland, who presided over months of testimony and argument about the basis of Eastman’s fringe legal theories, ruled that the veteran conservative attorney violated ethics rules — and even potentially criminal law — when he advanced Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results based on weak or discredited claims of fraud.

Hmmm, violation of the 1st?but also on his private writings
Unbelievably, they're attempting to call "scrutinizing the election process to assure a fair election" a 'plot'....He's criminally charged alongside Trump for a plot to erase Biden's electoral win in Georgia.
