Ex-Trump aide Peter Navarro ordered to prison despite contempt appeal

Petere Navarro goes to prison

A federal judge on Thursday denied Trump White House official Peter Navarro’s bid to remain out of prison while he appeals his contempt of Congress conviction for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

Navarro was sentenced last month to four months behind bars after being found guilty of defying a subpoena for documents and a deposition from the House January 6 committee. The former White House trade adviser under President Donald Trump had asked to be free while he fights that conviction and sentence in higher courts.

But Judge Amit Mehta said that Navarro must report to serve his sentence when ordered to do so by the Bureau of Prisons, unless Washington’s federal appeals court steps in to block Mehta’s order. The judge said Navarro had not shown that any of the issues he will raise on appeal are “substantial” questions of law.

After the police murder of George Floyd, she and other demonstrators took to the streets for racial justice in this New York City suburb, just east of the borough of Queens on Long Island.

No immunity: Donald Trump can be tried on election interference charges, appeals court says

Trump gets no immunityA federal appeals panel ruled unanimously Tuesday that Donald Trump isn't immune to charges he tried to overturn the 2020 election, setting the stage for another potential showdown at the Supreme Court for the former president.

Trump is expected to appeal the decision, which rejected an argument from his lawyers last month that any act by a president − even ordering the murder of political opponents by U.S. Navy SEALS − cannot be prosecuted unless the president is first impeached by the House of Representatives and convicted in the Senate.

But a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Trump is not immune from prosecution.
