Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has turned back an appeal from Peter Navarro, the former Trump White House official who is set to return in his second term after serving prison time on contempt of Congress charges. The appeal comes after the Justice Department sued Navarro, saying he had presidential records on an unofficial email account he used during his previous White House tenure. Navarro served as a trade adviser during Donald Trump’s first term and is set to return as senior counselor for trade and manufacturing after serving a four-month prison term for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
