Former President Trump’s White House trade adviser, Peter Navarro, has filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court for his immediate release from federal prison.
According to the filing, Navarro and his legal team argued that he should be released pending his appeals.
“Dr. Navarro is indisputably neither a flight risk nor a danger to public safety should he be release [sic] pending appeal,” the filing to the Supreme Court said.
There is not a timetable on when the justices will rule on the time-sensitive request.
A federal appeals court yesterday denied Navarro’s efforts to remain out of prison while he continues to challenge his conviction and sentence.
