Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a bid from Peter Navarro, who was former President Donald Trump's top trade adviser in the White House, to get out of prison while he appeals a conviction for contempt of Congress.
Navarro reported to federal prison in Miami in mid-March to begin serving a four-month sentence for defying a congressional subpoena after Chief Justice John Roberts denied Navarro's last-ditch attempt to remain free while he pursues the appeal.
In early April, 15 days into his sentence, Navarro renewed his request to halt his surrender to Justice Neil Gorsuch, which is allowed under Supreme Court rules. His bid for emergency relief was referred to the full court, which denied it. There were no noted dissents.
