Former Trump Advisor Peter Navarro DENIED Emergency Appeal


Last year Peter Navarro, a former Trump advisor, was convicted of contempt of Congress for not cooperating with the sham investigation into the occurrences of January 6.

Navarro had asked the court to stay his prison sentence while he appealed his conviction.

On Monday, the Supreme Court denied Navarro’s attempt to remain free.

Why is it that some people of a certain political persuasion see to skate on charges consistently, but others with a different perception go to jail?

It’s just the latest example of justice for some, but not for all.

NBC News reported on the Supreme Court’s latest decision:

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a bid by former Donald Trump adviser Peter Navarro to avoid reporting to prison to serve a four-month sentence for defying a congressional subpoena.

Chief Justice John Roberts issued the brief order.

Navarro had asked the Supreme Court to intervene ahead of his arrival Tuesday at a federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Miami. He was sentenced to four months of incarceration in January following his conviction last year for defying the House Jan. 6 committee’s subpoena.

Roberts wrote Monday that a lower court had found Navarro had forfeited any request to remain on bail pending his appeal under a law called the Bail Reform Act.
