"DOJ Seeks Six-Month Prison Term for Peter Navarro's Contempt of Congress"

Federal prosecutors are seeking a six-month prison sentence for Peter Navarro, a former Trump trade adviser, for defying a congressional subpoena related to the investigation of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Navarro was convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress, with each count carrying a mandatory minimum sentence of one month in prison. Prosecutors argue that Navarro's conduct justifies a harsher sentence, likening his defiance to the assault on the rule of law. Navarro's attorneys have requested a maximum of six months of probation for each count, with the possibility of appealing the conviction.
