Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. on Monday turned down Trump White House aide Peter Navarro’s request to remain out of jail while he appeals his conviction.

Navarro is expected to report to federal prison in Miami on Tuesday to begin serving a four-month prison sentence after he was convicted last year of being in contempt of Congress.

He refused to testify and cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee about events surrounding the former president’s challenge to the 2020 election results.

Steve Bannon, another Trump White House aide, was also convicted and sentenced to four months, but has been able to remain out of jail while his appeal is pending.
