  • The Supreme Court on Monday declined to wade into Peter Navarro's yearslong battle with the government over presidential records, brushing aside an appeal from President-elect Donald Trump's former trade adviser without hearing from the Biden administration in the case.

The Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from Peter Navarro, a former trade adviser to President Donald Trump, regarding his contempt of Congress conviction. Navarro was convicted for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. His appeal argued that he was protected by executive privilege, a claim that lower courts had previously rejected. The decision by the Supreme Court not to take up the case means Navarro's conviction stands, and he is set to serve a four-month prison sentence. This ruling underscores the judiciary's stance on the limits of executive privilege in the context of congressional investigations.
