Peter Navarro is headed to federal prison

03/18/24


WASHINGTON ; Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro is headed to federal prison after the Supreme Court on Monday rejected his emergency request to postpone his four-month sentence while he appeals his contempt of Congress conviction.

The Bureau of Prisons had scheduled Navarro to report for detention by 2 p.m. Tuesday in Miami unless the Supreme Court intervened.


Chief Justice John Roberts said he saw no reason to disagree with an appeals court decision denying Navarro's request to remain free, adding that the decision is distinct from a ruling on the appeal itself.


Navarro was convicted in September for refusing to testify or provide documents to the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
