Peter Navarro, a former Trump economic adviser, said former President Trump helped pay $300,000 of his legal fees, weeks after he was convicted of contempt of Congress.

[...]

Navarro said he asked Trump for the help.

  The Hill
You think Rudy is jealous? He asked for help and didn't get it.
Navarro told MSNBC’s Ari Melber his total legal fees were in excess of $600,000 so far in the case.

Earlier this month, Navarro was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with a subpoena from the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the Capitol.

[...]

Trump expressed his support for Navarro shortly after the conviction, writing in a social media post, “I can’t believe that these Fascist Monsters have so viciously gone after the great Peter Navarro for defying the totally partisan January 6th Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs.”

[...]

Navarro noted he has been raising money through defendpeter.com, which appears to have raised around $617,497 as of Thursday.

[...]

Navarro has vowed to appeal the conviction, arguing he and other people who worked with him in the White House are being unfairly targeted.
It's not fair to hold people accountable to the law.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
