Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro is set to report to prison after the Supreme Court rejected his request for a reprieve. Navarro, 74, will be the first former White House official jailed for contempt of Congress. He was sentenced to four months for failing to respond to congressional subpoenas related to the January 6 Capitol attack investigation. Navarro hopes to spend his time in a Miami prison camp near a zoo, where he can hear lions roar. He plans to work in air conditioning and sleep in a dormitory for elderly inmates. Navarro’s lawyers argued for a stay, but Chief Justice John Roberts denied the request. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar called Navarro’s arguments “meritless.” Navarro’s attorneys plan to appeal, but his conviction is unlikely to be reversed. Despite his impending prison term, Navarro remains defiant, warning that the partisan nature of his imprisonment should concern all Americans.
