Former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro appears bound to start his prison sentence for contempt of Congress after the Supreme Court rejected a last-minute bid Monday to stay free while he challenges his convictions.
Navarro’s attorneys asked the Supreme Court to intervene because they said he has been ordered to report to prison Tuesday for his 4-month sentence.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., acting alone in a one-page opinion, declined to do so and left in place a lower court order that would have Navarro serve out the sentence while he appeals.
