Appeals court upholds White House adviser Peter Navarro's contempt of Congress convictions

A federal appeals court upheld Peter Navarro's contempt of Congress convictions for defying a subpoena related to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The court rejected Navarro's claim that President Donald Trump's executive privilege protected him, noting he failed to prove such an invocation. Navarro had served a four-month prison sentence for the convictions and later spoke at the Republican National Convention.
