Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro surrenders to a federal prison in Miami to serve a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Navarro, who held a press conference before surrendering, claimed political persecution and asserted executive privilege on his conversations with Trump. The Supreme Court rejected his request for a reprieve, and a federal appeals court ruled that he must appear before Congress and answer questions. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta stated that Navarro was "not a victim" and had received due process.
