"Appeals Court Rejects Peter Navarro's Bid to Avoid Prison"

Former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro's request to remain free while appealing his conviction for contempt of Congress was denied by a federal appeals court, leaving him on track to begin a four-month prison sentence next week for ignoring a congressional subpoena related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Unless the Supreme Court intervenes, Navarro will have to report to a federal prison in Miami by Tuesday, making him the first senior aide to Trump to serve time over efforts to overturn the 2020 election. His lawyers had argued that his case raised novel legal questions related to executive privilege and congressional oversight of the executive branch, but the appeals court disagreed.
