Peter Navarro, a former trade adviser in Donald Trump’s White House, appears to be heading to jail.
Chief Justice John Roberts on Monday turned down Navarro’s emergency motion to stave off his imminent jail sentence — set to begin Tuesday at 2 p.m. in a Miami federal prison — for his defiance of a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee two years ago.
Navarro, 74, was convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress last fall for refusing to provide testimony or documents to the congressional investigators probing Trump’s bid to subvert the 2020 election. He’s the first member of Trump’s White House to face imminent jail time over events stemming from the 2020 vote.
Navarro’s emergency application to head off his four-month jail term was directed to Chief Justice John Roberts, who serves as circuit justice for the D.C. Circuit and oversees the Washington, D.C. court where the former Trump trade adviser was charged and tried.
