Contempt of Congress.
The court sentenced Peter Navarro, a former White House trade adviser to former President Donald Trump, to four months in jail. US District Judge Amit Mehta ignored the mandatory two-month sentence because of Navarro’s lack of remorse.
The loud mouth of Navarro begged Judge Metha for mercy. However, his cries went unanswered. Navarro frequently rebuked the January 6 Select Committee request to testify. They served Navarro with a subpoena for his testimony regarding the January 6 insurrection on the Capitol.
Navarro cited executive privilege for not giving the committee the requested documents. In September 2023, a Washington, DC, jury convicted the 74-year-old of two counts of contempt of Congress. In 2023, Navarro went on the MSNBC show The Beat and confessed to his role in the attempted January 6 insurrection. Navarro will have to pay a $9,500 fine as part of his penalty.
Booted NYU Pro-Palestian Professor Under Fire.
A New York University (NYU) adjunct, Professor Amin Husain, is back in the spotlight. In 2019, NYU expelled Amin Husain because of his political stance. Professor Husain has made several statements that riled some of his students at The New School. Students complained that 48-year-old Husain called New York City a Zionist city.
Mr. Husain also made claims that the stories of Hamas militants beheading babies during the October 7 attack were false. Amin Husain openly expresses his opinions regarding the ongoing bombings in the Gaza Strip. Professor Husain’s opinions often are at odds with mainstream media reports. Husain is the founder of a radical activist group named Decolonize This Place.
The Free Press got hold of a two-minute recording of Husain during a “teach-in.” “They’re trying to say … ‘Oh my God, you support rapists and people that behead babies,’ both of which, whatever, we know it’s not true.” There are reports of Professor Husain playing down claims of Hamas atrocities.
Roz Rothstein of StandWithUs accuses Husain of being an antisemitic and advises schools to avoid hiring him. Rothstein is the daughter of two Jewish Holocaust survivors.
“Shame on this professor for collaborating with the internationally recognized terrorist group, Hamas. By denying the documented rapes, beheadings, kidnappings, and murders of over 1400 human beings.” Rothstein said in a statement to The Post. “He is harming civil society by promoting lies and justifying barbaric attacks against the Jewish people. The Jerusalem Post recognizes Rothstein as “one of the most influential Jews in the world.”
