Supreme Court refuses to delay prison time for Trump aide Peter Navarro

Navarro, a 74-year-old economist, is scheduled to report to federal prison in Miami before 2 p.m. Tuesday.   In a one-paragraph order, Roberts, who oversees emergency requests from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, said he saw no basis to disagree with an appeals court ruling last week that Navarro must serve time while his appeal is underway. Navarro was sentenced in January to four months after a jury convicted him on two counts of contempt of Congress.however, allowed him to stay out of prison while Bannon pursued an argument on appeal not available to Navarro — that in refusing to testify, he was relying on advice from his attorney.   Navarro’s attorneys, who declined to comment Monday, told the Supreme Court on Friday that their client is “indisputably neither a flight risk nor a danger to public safety should he be released pending appeal.”
