Quick Glance: Defense Secretary Austin Affirms Long-Term U.S. Support for Ukraine Amid Congressional Funding Standstill

Quick Glance: Court denies Peter Navarro’s request for prison stay
  • A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that former Trump adviser Peter Navarro cannot remain out of prison during his appeal against his conviction for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena related to the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.

This would mark him as the first prominent Trump adviser to serve jail time for endeavors to challenge the 2020 election.

  • Navarro stated to reporters after his conviction that he anticipates his case to reach the Supreme Court to address concerns about executive privilege for high-ranking White House officials.
