Peter Navarro, the former economic adviser to President Donald Trump who was imprisoned for contempt of Congress, told the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Wednesday that the next Trump administration would punish the Democrats’ “lawfare jackals” for abusing their power to target the opposition.
Navarro spoke to the convention just hours after being released from federal prison in Miami, Florida. (One of his first stops earlier in the day had been to the Breitbart News booth, where he spoke to political editor Matthew Boyle.)
