TL;DR Summary

Peter Navarro, a former senior trade adviser in the Trump administration, expressed that officials in the Trump White House feel as if they are facing prison and massive legal bills following his own conviction for contempt of Congress. Navarro, who referred to US justice department prosecutors as "SOBs," plans to appeal his conviction and believes he will win the fight. He was subpoenaed by Congress to answer questions about the Capitol attack but refused to testify or hand over any materials. Another former Trump adviser, Steve Bannon, has also been convicted of contempt of Congress. Navarro's conviction comes as former President Trump faces multiple criminal indictments, which he denies.
