Former Donald Trump adviser Peter Navarro was launched from a Miami federal jail on Wednesday after finishing a four-month sentence for defying a congressional subpoena. He’s now slated to talk on the Republican Nationwide Conference hours later in Milwaukee.
Navarro, who promoted baseless claims of widespread voter fraud within the 2020 election, was convicted in September of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to testify and supply paperwork to the Home committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol.
He was the primary senior Trump aide to serve a jail sentence for actions associated to the riot. Fellow former Trump adviser Steve Bannon started serving his personal four-month sentence for contempt of Congress earlier this month after dropping an enchantment.
Navarro is predicted to go to the RNC, which started its third day on Wednesday, to offer a speech round 6:30 p.m. native time, according to a schedule posted on the RNC web site.
Trump appeared on the conference on Monday and Tuesday alongside his freshly chosen vice presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio.
Trump has called Navarro a “good man” and a “nice patriot,” whereas Navarro has called his own conviction a “partisan weaponization of the judicial system.”
Navarro’s staff celebrated his launch on Wednesday by posting “One of the best is but to come back!” on X, the social media web site beforehand generally known as Twitter.
