Supreme Court leaves in place ruling requiring former Trump adviser Peter Navarro to turn over presidential email records
CNNCNN — The Supreme Court on Monday declined to wade into Peter Navarro’s yearslong battle with the government over presidential records, brushing aside an appeal from President-elect Donald Trump’s former trade adviser without hearing from the Biden administration in the case. The National Archives and Records Administration has demanded Navarro turn over presidential records he kept on his private email during the first Trump administration, but Navarro has resisted and asked the Supreme Court to look into his case in October. “These arguments are without merit under clear, longstanding precedent,” a panel of three federal appeals court judges in Washington — all appointed by Democratic presidents — wrote of Navarro’s case in April. Earlier this year, Navarro tried to get the Supreme Court to help him avoid prison in a separate case involving his decision to defy a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
