JUST IN: Supreme Court Denies Peter Navarro’s Bid to be Freed from Prison While Appealing Conviction
The US Supreme Court on Monday denied Dr. Peter Navarro’s bid to be freed from prison pending his appeal.
Excerpt from The Hill:
The Supreme Court’s denial of Navarro’s request follows his second ask to the nation’s highest court to set him free while he challenges his conviction.
By default, Navarro’s first emergency request to stay out of prison while appealing the conviction went to Chief Justice John Roberts.
Roberts, who acted on the request alone, said in March that he would not pause Navarro’s four-month prison sentence as his appeal moves forward, forcing the onetime Trump adviser to report to a federal prison in Miami on March 19.
Navarro then renewed his motion to Justice Neil Gorsuch.
