Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro is about to become the first official from that administration to serve prison time and the first White House official to be jailed for contempt of Congress, after the Supreme Court denied a last-ditch bid to stave off the sentence.

Mr. Navarro, 74, is due at a minimum-security camp in Miami, Florida, on March 19 to start serving his four-month sentence for his 2023 conviction of contempt of Congress after he defied a subpoena from the Democrat-led House Jan. 6 select committee.
