Fresh off the heels of a four-month sentence for two counts of contempt of Congress, ex-Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro could be in hot water yet again after a federal judge threatened to hold him in contempt of court after he failed to return presidential records to the National Archives.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued the warning in a six-page opinion released on Wednesday cataloging the numerous times in which she said Navarro failed to comply with court-ordered requests to locate hundreds of official presidential records in his possession and hand them over.

He has until March 21 to show cause for why he should not be held in contempt of court.
