Peter Navarro taps Supreme Court in bid to avert prison sentence

Published March 15, 2024 6:18pm ET



Former Trump administration adviser Peter Navarro asked the Supreme Court to let him avoid reporting to federal prison next week for a four-month prison sentence resulting from his contempt of Congress conviction.

In an emergency request filed to Chief Justice John Roberts Friday afternoon, Navarro asked to remain free while he challenges his conviction before the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Navarro has been ordered to report to a Bureau of Prisons facility in Miami before 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
