Peter Navarro
Chief Justice John Roberts turned down Navarro’s bid to stay out of prison while he appeals contempt of Congress charges.
This comes as Navarro appeals his conviction for contempt of Congress.
Navarro, who was convicted in September, helped spread lies about the 2020 election on behalf of the former president.
The ex-Trump aide, who aims to appeal his contempt of Congress conviction, said the former president has "been a rock on this."
WHAT'S HAPPENING
"I think they deserve, frankly, any jail time they get," the former GOP lawmaker said of ex-Trump aides Navarro and Steve Bannon.
"Is this one of the stupidest, most pointless crimes ever committed by anyone?" the MSNBC host asked following the former Trump adviser's conviction.
Thursday wasn't a great day for Donald Trump’s former adviser.
Navarro was the second Trump aide to face contempt of Congress charges after former White House adviser Steve Bannon.
The former Trump adviser will not be allowed to claim executive privilege at his contempt of Congress trial, which starts next week.
In newly released audio from 2021, Navarro is heard criticizing Powell, a fellow ally of Donald Trump, for damaging the efforts to overturn the 2020 vote.
