Navarro Makes Last-Ditch Supreme Court Appeal to Avoid Jail Time for Contempt Charges
- Navarro filed an emergency application to the Supreme Court, seeking to stay his 4-month sentence for contempt of Congress charges while he appeals
- His request to the D.C. Circuit Court was denied on Thursday, prompting this last-ditch Supreme Court filing
- Navarro argues he's the only former senior presidential advisor prosecuted for contempt after an executive privilege assertion
- The filing comes just 4 days before Navarro has been ordered to report to a federal prison in Miami
- A 3-judge panel ruled Navarro did not prove he has grounds for a successful appeal of the contempt charges
