Fox News reported:
A top adviser to then-President Donald Trump, Peter Navarro, has been released from a Miami prison and is expected to speak at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night.
Navarro, 75, was convicted after being found in contempt of Congress and was sentenced to four months in a federal prison in Miami in March.
“I will walk proudly in there to do my time,” Navarro said during a press conference before turning himself in. “I will gather strength from this: Donald John Trump is the nominee.”
Navarro is set to speak in the 6 p.m. hour local time in Milwuakee on Wednesday night.
The New York Times added:
Peter Navarro, who led the U.S. Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy under President Donald J. Trump, was released from prison on Wednesday — in time to fly to Milwaukee to speak at the Republican National Convention.
Mr. Navarro was released after completing a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress after defying a subpoena from the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. (Another close Trump adviser, Stephen K. Bannon, recently began serving a four-month sentence for the same offense.)
He is listed on the schedule of convention speakers for Wednesday night, between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. Central time, according to a person briefed on the planning.
