Peter Navarro to be sentenced for contempt of court today. Prosecution asking for 6 months and 200K fine.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Trump White House official convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol is set to be sentenced Thursday.
Prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence <span class="caas-xray-inline-tooltip wafer-destroyed wafer-loader-success" data-wf-template-id="caas-xray-inline-wafer-tooltip-template-with-close-2213a9c7-2679-32a6-bbe5-e798a3c774bd" data-wf-local-storage-key="xray-inline-tooltip" data-wf-tooltip-text="Get info without leaving the page." data-wf-tooltip-position="bottom" style="position: relative;"> Peter Navarro to six months behind bars and impose a $200,000 fine. He was the second Trump aide to face contempt of Congress charges.
Navarro was found guilty of defying a subpoena for documents and a deposition from the House Jan. 6 committee. Navarro served as a White House trade adviser under then-President Donald Trump and later promoted the Republican’s baseless claims of mass voter fraud in the 2020 election he lost.
