On Monday, the Supreme Court denied former Trump White House advisor Peter Navarro’s bid to remain out of prison while he appeals his conviction.
This is the second time the Supreme Court has denied Navarro’s request to remain out of prison as he appeals his conviction on two contempt of Congress counts. Chief Justice John Roberts, to whom the first emergency request went by default, in March said the court would not pause his sentence.
According to The Hill, Navarro renewed his motion to Justice Neil Gorsuch, who referred the matter to the full court for a vote. The request was denied.
Navarro was sentenced in January to four months in prison for not complying with a subpoena issued by the January 6 House Select Committee. He was convicted in the case in September, being found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress.
