"There are bigger things at play than whether I go to prison," said Navarro, who is representing himself in the lawsuit. Prosecutors opposed his request to delay the trial until after the civil case is heard.
Navarro also accused prosecutors of misconduct for arresting him Friday morning at the airport and detaining him before a planned trip to Nashville, Tennessee.
"The behavior of these people is unconscionable. No American should be treated the way these people treated me," Navarro said. "They've basically weaponized their investigative power."
