Unless the Supreme Court intervenes, the former Trump adviser is slated to report to prison on March 19.
A federal appeals court on Thursday denied former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro’s bid to remain out of jail while he appeals his criminal conviction for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee.
A three-judge panel ruled Navarro had failed to present “substantial questions of law” that might result in his conviction being overturned.
Navarro has long argued that former President Donald Trump asserted executive privilege to prevent Navarro from testifying or providing documents to the Jan. 6 select committee. But the judge who presided over his trial, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, rejected that argument, noting that Navarro presented no evidence that Trump had done so. The appeals court agreed.
