Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro has been ordered to report to a Miami prison March 19 to begin his four month sentence for failing to comply with a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee, according to Politico.
Navarro, 74, was convicted last year on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to provide documents and testimony to congressional investigators probing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Navarro is asking a federal appeals court to temporarily put his sentence on hold while he appeals his conviction.
U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta declined to allow Navarro to stay out of prison while he appeals the ruling.
Amit ruled that Navarro’s appeal does not raise a “substantial question of law” and therefore doesn’t warrant his release.
Navarro is the second top Trump aide to be convicted on contempt of Congress charges. The other is former adviser Steve Bannon who was also sentenced to four months.
However, Bannon was allowed to stay out of prison while his attorneys appeal the conviction.
