Peter Navarro, who led the U.S. Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy under President Donald J. Trump, was released from prison on Wednesday after completing a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.
Mr. Navarro was closely involved with Mr. Trump's attempts to overturn the election results and remain in power, working with Mr. Bannon and others to try to delay Congress's certification of the results on Jan. 6.
Before the election, Mr. Navarro was best known for helping to develop Mr. Trump's protectionist trade policies, including his tariffs.
When the coronavirus pandemic began, Mr. Trump put him in charge of managing supply chains to secure personal protective equipment and other essential supplies, a role in which he used aggressive tactics with multinational corporations.
