The former White House adviser was involved in Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss in the lead-up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Before turning himself in, Navarro held a press conference in a strip-mall parking lot down the street from the facility.
Near a Papa John’s, Navarro gave an extended speech airing his grievances against the government and his prosecution, painting himself as a victim of political persecution.
Navarro, who was closely involved in Trump’s attempts to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss in the lead-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating Jan. 6.
The House Jan. 6 committee subpoenaed Navarro in February 2022, but he refused to provide either documents or testimony, making an expansive claim of executive privilege.
But as Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts noted, the federal appeals court ruled that Navarro couldn’t just ignore Congress completely and was “still obligated to appear before Congress and answer questions seeking information outside the scope of the asserted privilege.”
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta said at Navarro’s sentencing in January that he was “not a victim,” despite his claims.
