Avast ye scallywags! 'Tis been said that Peter Navarro, a former mate of the infamous Donald Trump, hath been thrown in the brig in Miami for four moons! 'Tis a fine jest, indeed! Let's hope he learns to obey the law like a proper landlubber! Arrr!
Former Trump advisor Peter Navarro found himself in a bit of a pickle recently, as he was ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court to report to prison in Miami. This came after Navarro attempted to appeal his contempt of Congress conviction, only to have the court deny his request to delay his imprisonment until after the appeal was heard.Navarro was quite the swashbuckler, declaring defiantly before turning himself in, "I will walk proudly in there to do my time. I will gather strength from this: Donald John Trump is the nominee." The former Trump aide was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena related to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.Despite his efforts to defend his actions by claiming Trump had invoked executive privilege, the courts did not buy his argument. Navarro will have to serve his full four-month sentence unless his appeal is successful.Navarro is not the first Trump associate to face such consequences, as former White House advisor Steve Bannon also received a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. It seems that even in the high seas of politics, loyalty to the captain may not always save you from the gallows.
