"Former Trump Adviser Larry Kudlow Admits Biden's Economy is Surprising"
Fox News hosts and a former economic adviser to Donald Trump have reluctantly acknowledged that the economy is thriving under President Joe Biden, with unemployment below 4% for two years running and consumer confidence on the rise. MSNBC's Ali Velshi highlighted clips of Fox News hosts grappling with this reality and interviewed Jared Bernstein, a former economic policy adviser to Biden, who humorously suggested that the stock market's rise was due to his appearance on the show. Velshi explained that the disconnect between conservative talking points and economic reality is becoming apparent to people, leading to a shift in perception.
"Peter Navarro Sentenced for Defying Jan. 6 Committee Subpoena"
Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro faces sentencing for criminal contempt of Congress after refusing to testify and provide documents to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Federal prosecutors are seeking six months in federal prison, accusing Navarro of prioritizing politics over country and choosing allegiance to Trump over the rule of law. Navarro's lawyer has requested a stay on any sentence due to "novel issues" in the case, including Navarro's belief that Trump had invoked executive privilege. U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta will sentence Navarro at the hearing.
"DOJ Seeks Prison Term for Peter Navarro Over Congressional Subpoena Defiance"
The Justice Department is seeking a six-month prison term and a $200,000 fine for former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, who was convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the now-defunct Jan. 6 committee. Prosecutors argue that Navarro "deserves severe punishment" for choosing allegiance to Trump over the rule of law. Navarro's attorneys have requested that he not be sentenced to more than six months in prison and to pay a $200 fine, emphasizing that his conviction is unrelated to the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. This case draws parallels to the sentencing of Steve Bannon, another former Trump adviser who defied a Jan. 6 committee subpoena and was sentenced to four months in prison and a $6,500 fine.
