Navarro was charged and convicted with contempt of Congress after he refused to comply with a congressional subpoena demanding his testimony and documents relating to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Chief Justice John Roberts said he had "no basis to disagree" with the appeals court ruling that Navarro begin his sentence.
Navarro, who served as former President Trump's trade adviser, was the second Trump aide convicted of a misdemeanor contempt of Congress charge. Former White House adviser Steve Bannon previously received a four-month sentence but was allowed to stay free pending appeal by U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, who was appointed by Trump.

"I am disappointed with a process where a jury convicted me, and I was unable to provide a defense, one of the most important elements of our justice system," he added.
The lower courts found that Navarro could not actually prove Trump had invoked executive privilege.
