美国联邦上诉法院的三法官小组周二一致裁决，维持特朗普政府顾问彼得·纳瓦罗因无视众议院第6委员会传票而被定罪的决定。1
纳瓦罗因未遵守众议院委员会的传票而被控两项藐视国会罪。12022年3月，委员会要求纳瓦罗交付文件并出庭作证，但他未予遵从。12023年9月，华盛顿陪审团以两项藐视国会罪给纳瓦罗定罪。1
在上诉中，纳瓦罗声称他相信行政特权可以豁免他遵守传票的义务。1然而上诉法院认定，纳瓦罗无法证明特朗普援引了行政特权。1
纳瓦罗已因此罪服刑四个月，于2024年初报到迈阿密联邦监狱。1其律师表示将继续上诉。1纳瓦罗目前在特朗普第二任期内担任类似职务。1
A federal appeals court panel unanimously upheld the contempt of Congress convictions against Peter Navarro, a White House adviser in the Trump administration, on Tuesday 1. The three-judge panel rejected Navarro's argument that he could not comply with a House committee subpoena because former President Trump had invoked executive privilege to shield him from the obligation 1.
Navarro was convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress in September 2023 by a Washington jury after he refused to comply with a March 2022 request from the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot 1. The committee had demanded that he produce documents and testify 1. Navarro subsequently reported to a federal prison in Miami in early 2024 and has served four months in custody 1.
In a 2021 book, Navarro took credit for planning efforts to delay the certification of the 2020 presidential election results 1. During his legal case, he claimed to believe that executive privilege could prevent him from honoring the congressional subpoena 1.
Navarro's attorneys indicated they plan to continue appealing the decision 1. He currently holds a similar position in Trump's second term as White House adviser 1.
