Quick Glance: Justice Roberts denies Navarro's final attempt to avoid prison
- Former White House advisor Peter Navarro must report to prison on Tuesday after U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts rejected his final attempt to stay free while appealing his contempt of Congress conviction.
- Navarro has been ordered to report to a Miami prison on Tuesday afternoon to begin his sentence, making him the first key advisor to former President Trump to serve jail time over efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
- Although Navarro may be the first Trump White House official to serve time for evading Congress, he wasn't the first to be found guilty of the charge. Former White House advisor Steve Bannon faced two counts of contempt of Congress last year, resulting in a four-month prison sentence. However, a different judge allowed Bannon to remain free while he appeals his case.
- Bannon defended his case before a federal appeals court in November and has not yet started serving his sentence.
