Peter Navarro, Trump ex-aide jailed for contempt of Congress, will address RNC, AP sources say
Former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, who is currently in jail on contempt of Congress charges, is expected to speak at next week’s Republican National Convention
NEW YORK (AP) — Former White House trade advisor Peter Navarro, who is currently in jail on contempt of Congress charges, is expected to speak at next week's Republican National Convention just hours after his release.
That's according to two people familiar with the event's schedule who spoke on condition of anonymity to share details before they were formally announced.
Navarro is set to be released from a Miami prison on Wednesday, July 17, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ online database of current inmates. That would give him just enough time to board a plane and make it to Milwaukee before the convention wraps Thursday. He was found guilty in September of contempt of Congress charges for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
