Judge Denies Ex-Trump Aide Peter Navarro's Appeal to Delay Prison Sentence

Former Trump White House official Peter Navarro's request to remain out of prison while appealing his contempt of Congress conviction was denied by a federal judge. Navarro was sentenced to four months behind bars for refusing to cooperate with the investigation into the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol. The judge ruled that Navarro must report to serve his sentence unless the federal appeals court intervenes. Navarro's argument of political bias was dismissed by the judge, who stated that he had offered no actual proof to support the claim. Navarro is the second Trump aide convicted of contempt of Congress charges, with the first being former White House adviser Steve Bannon.
