Peter Navarro, who worked as a trade adviser in the Trump White House, defied a subpoena to testify before the House Jan. 6 committee
The Justice Department wants former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro to spend six months behind bars after being convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for ignoring a subpoena.
Federal prosecutors said in a court filing Thursday that Navarro “deserves severe punishment” that includes a $200,000 fine in addition to prison time. He is scheduled to be sentenced Jan 25.
Navarro, 74, was found guilty last year on two counts of contempt after he rejected a congressional subpoena to testify before the now-defunct Jan. 6 committee and provide relevant documents.
“The Defendant chose allegiance to former President Donald Trump over the rule of law,” prosecutors wrote in Thursday’s sentencing memo.
Can’t wait to watch the GOP spin this towards Hunter Biden.
(The situations aren’t the same at all)
I think if they take all the contempts of congress and said yup we can do jail on them, then yes hunter goes, but I would also look into all the others that would be on that dock, sitting or currently not.
