Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro spoke at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, just hours after he was released from a Miami federal prison following his completion of a four-month sentence for defying a subpoena from the January 6 congressional committee. “I got a very simple message for you. If they can come for me, if they can come for Donald Trump. Be careful. They will come for you,” he warned convention attendees in Milwaukee, where his former boss has been formally nominated as the 2024 GOP presidential candidate. Navarro is one of two members of Trump’s circle who was convicted for failing to comply with subpoenas from the now-defunct House select committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Trump adviser Steve Bannon started serving his four-month sentence earlier this month at a federal prison in Connecticut. Navarro, who is in his 70s, worked as a law library clerk during his time in the prison camp, his prison consultant Sam Mangel told CNN. “Everybody has to work,” Mangel said. “It gave him a chance to write.” Mangel said Navarro was liked and respected by his fellow inmates while in the prison.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth could soon move to fire more than half a dozen generals and flag officers, according to two sources familiar with the matter, part of an effort to purge the department of senior leaders perceived as either too political or too close to former Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
