"Ex-Trump Official Peter Navarro Sentenced to 4 Months for Defying Jan. 6 Subpoena"

Peter Navarro, a former Trump White House official, has been sentenced to four months in prison for defying a House subpoena related to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. He is the second Trump aide to be convicted of contempt of Congress charges. Navarro's attorneys have filed a notice of appeal, arguing that he couldn't cooperate with the committee due to Trump's invocation of executive privilege, a claim the judge rejected. The judge criticized Navarro for asserting that he was the victim of a political prosecution and emphasized that executive privilege is not a "get-out-of-jail-free card." The House committee investigating the attack accused Navarro of abusing public trust and stated that his conviction and sentence were consequences of his refusal to comply with the subpoena.
