Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Had Trump issued a similar letter to Navarro, "the record here would look very different," Mehta said earlier.
47% : "Navarro's attorneys asked for probation, saying the judge at one point seemed to acknowledge that Navarro genuinely thought Trump had invoked executive privilege, a provision under the Constitution's separation-of-powers principle to preserve the confidentiality of White House discussions from Congress.
41% : "Nobody in my position should be put in conflict between the legislative branch and the executive branch.
25% : Mehta called Navarro's protestation of ignorance hard to believe, because two months before he got his subpoena, Bannon was charged with snubbing the House without a letter from Trump.
16% : The plan aimed to get Trump loyalists in Congress to contest ballots from six swing states that Biden won and throw the election to the House, though claims of voter fraud were repudiated by state officials and the courts.
16% : Prosecutors accused Navarro of pursuing a bad-faith strategy of "utter contempt" and "utter disregard" for Congress, putting allegiance to Trump and partisan politics over country in refusing to cooperate with House investigators probing the Jan. 6 attack that came after Trump urged his supporters to march to the Capitol.
13% : Mehta ultimately rejected Navarro's claim, finding after an evidentiary hearing that whatever Navarro thought, he failed to prove the existence of a conversation or a formal invocation of privilege by Trump that directed Navarro not to cooperate with lawmakers.
