"Peter Navarro Appeals to Supreme Court for Prison Release Pending Conviction Appeal"

Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro has filed a long-shot plea with the Supreme Court to avoid more prison time for his contempt of Congress conviction, after serving 15 days of his four-month sentence. His emergency request to remain free while challenging the conviction was previously denied by Chief Justice John Roberts, but Navarro's attorneys have now asked Justice Neil Gorsuch to review the request. Navarro argues that his case raises substantial legal questions, but two lower courts have already turned down similar appeals.
