Peter Navarro Files Emergency Supreme Court Appeal in Last-Minute Attempt to Avoid Prison
Former Trump White House aide Peter Navarro is begging the highest court in the United States to intervene so he doesn’t have to report to prison next week.
Filing an emergency appeal to the United States Supreme Court on Friday, Navarro is asking the court to allow him to remain out of jail as he attempts to overturn his conviction of contempt of Congress.
The MAGA loyalist appeared to run out of options on Thursday when his last-gasp effort to avoid prison time was unanimously rejected by a federal appeals court. In its ruling, the three-judge panel said that Navarro had failed to answer “substantial questions of law” that could overturn his conviction for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 House committee.
