Peter Navarro's 11th-hour appeal to avoid prison denied by Supreme Court

State of play: Chief Justice John Roberts rejected Navarro's attempt in an order Monday, writing that he saw no reason to disagree with the determination of a federal court of appeals that found the former Trump administration trade adviser hadn't "met his burden to establish his entitlement to relief."

Catch up quick: Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison in January for defying a 2022 congressional subpoena. He was also ordered to pay a $9,500 fine.

• The House Jan. 6 committee accused Navarro of working to develop a plan to delay Congress' certification of the 2020 presidential election.
• Navarro's attorney had argued that his client took responsibility for his crime and should not receive jail time.
