Ex-Trump adviser Peter Navarro ordered to report to jail on March 19
abcnews.go.com
Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro has been ordered to report to jail in Miami on March 19 to begin his four-month sentence after he defied a subpoena from the House Select Committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Navarro was convinced in September of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to provide testimony and documents to the committee.
According to court papers filed late Sunday night by Navarro's attorneys, he must report to prison in Miami by March 19 at 2 p.m. ET.

Unless you're rich, then there are no consequences. And he's 74, I doubt he cares if he gets to work in politics or not.
Trump just paid over 90 million because that isn't true.
Life and "criminal justice" is less daunting if you're rich, but rulings stand and rich people face consequences and go to jail.
Madoff, shkreli went to jail.
74 or not, people care about the life they've devoted themselves to and built for themselves.
He certainly cares more for his comfortable life than running from US agents and bounty hunters at 74
Those are more exceptions than the rule. How many people went to jail for the Panama papers or Epstein Island? Most of them just get away with it.
Exceptions are unique; dozens of examples of the wealthy and powerful facing legal consequences you can search engine and find immediately are not exceptions.
It's easier for the wealthy and powerful to fight their cases, but after exhausting their appeals they're as criminally liable as anyone else.
Panama papers are about companies legally avoiding paying their fair share because of America's shitty tax laws, not about people convicted of crimes evading the sentences.
Epstein went to jail after being convicted.
There have been no trials yet or publicly available and importantly, legally actionable evidence to prosecute others who visited his island.
The Panama Papers are about tax fraud on a global scale going back to 1970s. Most of the people named weren't American. Out of the thousands named, 2 people served jail time.
Epstein and Maxwell went to jail. Epstein was murdered so he couldn't testify against any of the hundreds of child rapist he facilitated.
Madoff stole money from rich people, of course he why to jail lol.
Trump sexually assaulted multiple women, committed multiple counts of fraud, sold government secrets, and tried to overthrow the government and paid a fine.
I'm not saying rich people never face any consequence at all, I know there are examples out there. I'm saying that for every one that does face some sort of consequence there's a thousand that don't.
Right, they went to jail.
Epstein easily could have been murdered, but that's an unproven theory.
Trump is on the hook for fines larger than his presidential campaign fund so far that he has to pay himself, and he still has 91 criminal felony charges against him, as well as other cases and especially that of the fake electors plot looming.
You literally said "except if you are rich, then there are no consequences".
That's what I'm responding to
Now you're saying "I'm not saying rich people never face any consequence at all".
If you want to change your theory to "sometimes some people don't go to jail when david_eight thinks they should", sure, makes sense.
