DOJ Civil Rights Division presents evidence to grand jury in probe of Cassidy Hutchinson

The Justice Department has presented evidence to a federal grand jury regarding former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, focusing on allegations that she lied to Congress about events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The probe is being led by the Civil Rights Division rather than local prosecutors, a move critics view as part of a broader pattern of using federal resources against political opponents. While the grand jury has heard evidence, no final decision on criminal charges has been made, and additional testimony may be presented in the coming weeks.

"Former Trump Adviser Peter Navarro Begins Prison Sentence for Contempt of Congress"

Peter Navarro, a former senior aide to President Donald Trump, reported to a Miami jail after the Supreme Court declined to delay his prison time while he appeals his conviction for refusing to testify before Congress about his involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Navarro claimed that he was protected by executive privilege and insisted that he had done nothing wrong by ignoring a congressional subpoena. He and former Trump strategist Stephen K. Bannon are fighting prison sentences for contempt of Congress in relation to the Jan. 6 investigation. Navarro criticized the Justice Department and vowed to bring his case to the Supreme Court after serving his sentence.

"Supreme Court Denies Peter Navarro's Bid to Avoid Prison"

The US Supreme Court has denied former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro's request to delay his prison sentence for contempt of Congress as he appeals his conviction. Navarro is set to serve a four-month federal prison term for defying a subpoena related to the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks. He argued that he couldn't cooperate due to Trump's executive privilege, but lower courts found he couldn't prove this. Navarro's attorney declined to comment, and the high court's decision comes as it prepares to hear arguments on whether Trump himself has presidential immunity from charges related to the 2020 election interference.
