Last Wednesday, Donald Trump announced the appointment of Peter Navarro as a senior counselor for trade and manufacturing during the second Trump administration. Ordinarily, appointments to posts as obscure as that one would hardly have caused a ripple. But Navarro is no ordinary appointee. He is the latest addition to the rogues gallery of felons and ne’er do wells who will populate the White House, the Trump Cabinet, and other posts starting on Jan. 20.
As Yahoo News reminds us, Navarro “was sentenced to four months in prison after a federal jury convicted him of refusing to comply with a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.”
