"Former Trump Aide Peter Navarro to Begin 4-Month Prison Sentence on March 19"

Former Trump aide Peter Navarro has been ordered to report to a Miami prison by March 19 to serve a four-month sentence for defying a House Jan. 6 committee subpoena. His lawyer is seeking an appeals court intervention to block the sentence while he fights the conviction. Navarro was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with the subpoena related to the investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. This makes him potentially the first high-profile Trump official to serve time in a case related to efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.

"Peter Navarro Sentenced for Defying Jan. 6 Committee Subpoena"

Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro is set to be sentenced for defying a congressional subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Navarro was convicted in September on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to appear for a deposition and produce documents. Prosecutors have requested a six-month prison sentence for each count, while Navarro's attorneys have asked for no more than six months and a $100 fine for each count. The Jan. 6 committee's 17-month probe concluded with the release of its final report in December 2022, which found a "multi-part conspiracy to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 Presidential election" and made 11 recommendations, including affirming the way electoral votes are certified and improving Capitol Police effectiveness.
