Former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro will have to report for a four-month prison sentence on two contempt of Congress charges on March 19 in Miami unless an appeals court steps in, his attorneys said in a court filing late Sunday.
Navarro again asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to allow him to remain free while he is appealing his conviction from a jury trial last year.
If the D.C. Circuit does not do so, Navarro’s lawyers requested a halt to starting his prison sentence to allow him to appeal to the Supreme Court.
