Peter Navarro’s bid to stay out of prison was rejected by Chief Justice John Roberts last month. Now, the former Trump White House adviser is trying his luck with another justice. He’ll almost certainly fail. Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of Congress in January after refusing to comply with a House Jan. 6 Committee subpoena. Trying to stay free pending appeal, he filed an application with the chief justice, who handles emergency requests from Washington courts.
The Supreme Court’s rules generally allow such renewed requests. But there’s no reason to think this latest effort will succeed. Though Roberts could have referred Navarro’s initial request to the full court, the chief justice didn't deny it randomly or without reason. He wrote an opinion explaining his view. In his letter Tuesday, Navarro’s counsel wrote that briefing in his appeal won’t be finished until July, after he’s scheduled to have already completed his sentence.
