Supreme Court won't keep Peter Navarro out of prison

He goes in tomorrow.

[U.S. Chief Justice John] Roberts said Monday that he will not pause Navarro’s four-month prison sentence as his appeal moves forward.

Navarro has been ordered to report to a Miami prison Tuesday afternoon to begin his sentence, which will make him the first key adviser to former President Trump to serve jail time over efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

[...]

Navarro, 74, was found guilty last year of two counts for refusing to comply with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol — one for failing to produce documents related to the probe and another for skipping his deposition.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta barred Navarro from using executive privilege as part of his defense after finding that he failed to prove privilege was ever invoked by Trump.

The judge declined to allow Navarro to stay out of prison while appealing, contending his appeal does not raise a “substantial question of law” and therefore doesn’t warrant his release.

[...]

In their request to the Supreme Court to put Navarro’s imprisonment on hold, Navarro’s attorneys argued executive privilege should have protected the onetime Trump economic adviser from facing charges for swerving the House Jan. 6 committee’s probe.

Ex-White House adviser Steve Bannon was also convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress last year and sentenced to four months in prison, but a different judge said he could remain free pending appeal. Bannon argued his case before a federal appeals court in November and still has not served any time.
