Peter Navarro: US supreme court denies Trump ally’s bid to avoid prison

Justices find no basis to disagree' with lower court's ruling after Navarro, former Trump trade adviser, convicted of contempt

The US supreme court on Monday denied a request by Donald Trump's former aide Peter Navarro to avoid prison while he appeals his contempt of Congress conviction for defying a subpoena from a panel that investigated the 2021 Capitol attack.

Navarro, who served as trade adviser during Trump's presidency, is set to become the first senior member of his administration to be imprisoned for actions related to the attempt to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss.
