Peter Navarro has said his upcoming imprisonment over his response to the Capitol riot “should chill the bones of every American.”

Donald Trump’s former aide hit out at the Supreme Court in a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, after it denied his request to avoid prison while he appeals a contempt of Congress conviction.
