After asserting he doesn't want a pardon midway through his four-month sentence for obstructing Congress's investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, former Donald Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro has some complaints about prison food.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal's Alex Leary conducted by email because visitors have been limited, the former Trump aide admitted that, after two months in jail, he is not a fan of prison food.

Having said that, he had few good things to say about prison cuisine despite a Bureau of Prison official stating it "provides a variety of healthy food options, including fresh fruit daily."
