Desperate Jared Fogle calls on Trump in latest bid to get out of prison

He must be sick of the prison footlongs.

Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has issued another desperate plea for his release — this time calling on President Trump for help.

The 40-year-old is currently serving more than 15 years for distributing child pornography and traveling to have paid sex with a minor after pleading guilty in 2015.

He filed a petition this week for a writ of habeas corpus, which is the Latin term used to describe an official appeal for a prisoner’s release.

In it, Fogle claimed his plea was unlawful because it included an unwarranted “charge of conspiracy.”

He said he would have never pleaded guilty — on account of the charge not being covered by the federal law related to sexual misconduct with minors — thus causing his due process rights under the US Constitution to be violated.





Fogle named the warden of his Colorado prison in his habeas application as a defendant, along with his sentencing judge and Trump.

Prisoners who file the civil legal action typically only name wardens as defendants, but the disgraced Subway rep must’ve felt extra worried about his chances this go-around after losing a bid for release back in January.

A federal magistrate judge said Fogle’s most recent application was missing a few details, so they gave him 30 days to submit a revised version — which doesn’t name the president.

The weight loss legend had tried to argue in June 2016 that his sentence unfairly exceeded the length suggested under federal guidelines, but that appeal was slapped down as well.
