A federal decide on Wednesday rejected one other request from former Donald Trump financial aide Peter Navarro to chop his four-month prison sentence quick.
Navarro is in jail for contempt of Congress after ducking a subpoena for paperwork and testimony from the Home committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol.
Final week, Navarro asked district Choose Amit Mehta in Washington, DC, to permit him to chop 30 days off his jail sentence in change for 30 days of supervised launch, citing the First Step Act. Mehta mentioned no.
“In sum, a four-month jail time period with out supervised launch was warranted on the time of Defendant’s sentencing, and it stays warranted now,” the decide wrote.
Navarro reported to a federal jail in Florida on March 19 after different appeals have been rejected by the Supreme Courtroom.
