Peter Navarro (74), former advisor to former US President Donald Trump, was sentenced to four months behind bars on Thursday evening. The reason for this was a conviction for criminal contempt of the United States Congress. The jury had already found him guilty in September. However, the prison sentence has only now been imposed on him.
Navarro owes his prison sentence to the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. On that day, Trump’s supporters violently stormed the House of Representatives in Washington, where Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential elections was about to be confirmed.
The American investigative committee has reviewed the events. But Navarro refused to release documents and testify before a House committee investigating the attack.
Trump’s former adviser had argued that he failed to comply with the subpoena because Trump told him to say he was exempt under government secrecy laws. This explanation apparently did not appeal to the jury. (SDA/madam)
