"Former Trump Official Peter Navarro Faces Sentencing for Contempt of Congress in Jan. 6 Probe"

TL;DR
Peter Navarro, a former Trump White House official, is set to be sentenced for contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a subpoena related to his actions after the 2020 election. Prosecutors have asked for a prison sentence of six months and a fine of $600,000. Navarro's defense team argued that he reasonably believed he was duty-bound to assert executive privilege on behalf of former President Trump. This comes after Steve Bannon, another Trump ally, was found guilty of the same charges and sentenced to four months in prison, with his sentence suspended pending appeal.
