Supreme Court rejects lat­est Peter Navar­ro bid to leave prison

The Supreme Court on Mon­day reject­ed the lat­est bid by for­mer Trump White House advis­er Peter Navar­ro to stay out of prison while he appeals his con­vic­tion for ignor­ing a con­gres­sion­al sub­poe­na from the now-defunct House Jan. 6 com­mit­tee.
Navar­ro, 74, was found guilty last year on two counts of con­tempt of Con­gress stem­ming from his fail­ure to pro­duce doc­u­ments relat­ed to the inves­ti­ga­tion and anoth­er for evad­ing a depo­si­tion before the pan­el that was tasked with inves­ti­gat­ing the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capi­tol. The Supreme Court’s rejec­tion of Navarro’s bid marks the sec­ond time he has been denied by the jus­tices on his quest to be set free while he chal­lenges his con­vic­tion at an appeals court.
