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.

He is still at liberty and running for office. Those fines are being paid by his dipshit supporters and those looking to buy influence. Trump is the prime example of someone getting away with stuff.

He is not at liberty - he has been and is stuck in courtrooms all day losing cases.

For his rape case and civil fraud, that was 34 days of him in court, over one month out of the year that he was not at liberty, He's going back this year to appeal his sentences, taking away more of his time.

Running for office - at a distinct disadvantage with less money from these cases that cannot be paid for by his supporters.

He isn't getting away with stuff.
