Rep. Matt Gaetz Accuses Biden Administration Of Holding Peter Navarro As Political Prisoner
In a speech on the House floor Monday Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) accused the Biden administration of holding former Trump adviser Peter Navarro as a political prisoner denying him access to his lawyer and refusing to allow anyone to interview him.
Navarro, 74, began serving a four-month prison sentence on March 19 after a jury found him guilty of failing to respond to congressional subpoenas for documents and testimony in the U.S. House’s partisan investigation into the events at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Gaetz said that after five weeks of trying he was directly informed by Colette S. Peters Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons that his request to interview Navarro would be denied because the prisoner is “too notorious” to be interviewed by a member of Congress.

“John Gotti was interviewed when he was in prison” Gaetz noted. “The QAnon Shaman was interviewed in prison. Director Peters HERSELF brought NBC News THROUGH PRISONS to showcase the work of corrections that’s being done!” he exclaimed.
Gaetz said the actions of the Federal Bureau of Prisons vindicates Navarro’s claim that he is being held as a political prisoner.
