"DOJ Seeks Prison Term for Peter Navarro Over Congressional Subpoena Defiance"

The Justice Department is seeking a six-month prison term and a $200,000 fine for former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, who was convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the now-defunct Jan. 6 committee. Prosecutors argue that Navarro "deserves severe punishment" for choosing allegiance to Trump over the rule of law. Navarro's attorneys have requested that he not be sentenced to more than six months in prison and to pay a $200 fine, emphasizing that his conviction is unrelated to the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. This case draws parallels to the sentencing of Steve Bannon, another former Trump adviser who defied a Jan. 6 committee subpoena and was sentenced to four months in prison and a $6,500 fine.
