"Ex-Trump Aide Peter Navarro Sentenced to 4 Months in Prison for Contempt of Congress"

Former Trump White House aide Peter Navarro has been sentenced to four months in jail and fined $9,500 for defying a subpoena from the House January 6 select committee. Navarro, convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress, is expected to appeal his sentence. Prosecutors had sought a six-month sentence, citing the seriousness of the congressional inquiry into the Capitol riot. Navarro's lawyer argued that he acted in accordance with executive privilege. The judge acknowledged Navarro's claim but emphasized that it was not a legal defense, and criticized his refusal to honor the subpoena despite media appearances.
