A federal appeals court in Washington on Tuesday upheld White House trade adviser Peter Navarro‘s felony contempt of Congress conviction, rejecting his claim that former President Donald Trump‘s executive privilege protected him from complying with the House Jan. 6 committee’s subpoena.

In a unanimous 37-page opinion, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found Navarro failed to prove Trump instructed him to withhold testimony or documents from the congressional investigation.
