TL;DR Summary

Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro faces sentencing for criminal contempt of Congress after refusing to testify and provide documents to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Federal prosecutors are seeking six months in federal prison, accusing Navarro of prioritizing politics over country and choosing allegiance to Trump over the rule of law. Navarro's lawyer has requested a stay on any sentence due to "novel issues" in the case, including Navarro's belief that Trump had invoked executive privilege. U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta will sentence Navarro at the hearing.
