Fox News interrupted a press conference held by Peter Navarro, a former adviser in the Trump White House, to clarify statements he made before starting his four-month prison sentence. Navarro, sentenced due to his refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena related to the House investigation into the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, asserted that his imprisonment could signal a broader political campaign against Donald Trump and his supporters. He claimed to be the first senior White House adviser ever charged for such a refusal.
