Ex-Trump aide Peter Navarro begins serving prison sentence after historic contempt prosecution
Peter Navarro, an ex-White House aide to former President Donald Trump, has reported to a federal prison in Miami, making history as the first former White House official to be imprisoned for a contempt of Congress conviction.
Chief Justice John Roberts rejected Navarro’s request on Monday.
Navarro has never been able to show that executive privilege would have applied to the information he has related to the 2020 election.
US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar countered to the justices that even “a successful claim of privilege would not excuse applicant’s total failure to comply with the subpoena.
