Chief Justice denies Navarro's bid to remain free pending appeal

Reporting and findings

1. documented

   Chief Justice Roberts denied Navarro's emergency application to avoid reporting to prison during appeal. The order said the lower court found Navarro had forfeited certain arguments and had not shown the required likelihood of reversal; it expressly did not decide how a properly preserved executive-privilege claim should be resolved. The denial therefore was not a merits ruling on every privilege defense.
