D.C. Circuit affirms Navarro's contempt convictions

Reporting and findings

1. documented

   The D.C. Circuit affirmed Navarro's two contempt convictions, rejecting challenges to the committee subpoena and trial rulings. After the change in administrations, the Justice Department withdrew its brief and further participation but did not seek dismissal, so the court resolved Navarro's appeal without government advocacy. He had completed custody; his convictions remained intact.
