"Judge Denies Peter Navarro's Delay Request, Orders Prison Sentence"

Former Trump White House aide Peter Navarro has been ordered to begin serving a four-month prison term for ignoring a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Navarro's request to stay free while he appeals his conviction on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress was rejected by a federal judge. He claimed credit for devising a plan to overturn the 2020 election and keep Donald Trump in office, but his legal challenges were deemed unlikely to succeed. Navarro and Trump's former political adviser, Stephen K. Bannon, were both convicted of contempt for defying congressional subpoenas, with Bannon's sentence put on hold pending appeal. Navarro's refusal to cooperate with the House panel and his reliance on executive privilege were found insufficient by the judge, who ordered him to report to prison unless the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals intervenes.
