Navarro Reports to Prison for Contempt of Congress

Former Trump Aide Faces Time for January 6 Committee Subpoena

Peter Navarro, a former White House aide to former President Donald Trump, has reported to a federal prison in Miami. Navarro, 74, was convicted last year after ignoring a subpoena from a House committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. Navarro was one of the key architects of Trump's plans to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison and a $9,500 fine. He is the first person to be sentenced to prison for contempt of Congress in connection with the January 6 investigation. Navarro has said that he hopes to spend his time in prison working in air conditioning and writing a book about his experience.

Navarro's imprisonment is a significant moment in the ongoing investigation into the January 6 attack. It is a sign that the Justice Department is willing to hold accountable those who defied subpoenas from congressional committees.
