DOJ wants six-month prison term for Peter Navarro
The Department of Justice Seeks Prison Sentence for Former White House Adviser Peter Navarro
The Department of Justice is pushing for a six-month prison sentence for Peter Navarro, a former White House adviser, following his conviction for criminal contempt of Congress. Navarro, who served as an adviser to former President Donald Trump, was found guilty of ignoring a congressional subpoena on two occasions last year. Federal prosecutors argue that Navarro deserves a “severe” punishment and are also requesting a $200,000 fine.
In an attempt to evade the subpoena, Navarro had invoked executive privilege, but the court ultimately rejected this defense. Prosecutors stated in a sentencing memo that Navarro prioritized his loyalty to Trump over the rule of law. They accused him of using baseless claims of executive privilege and immunity to justify his defiance and contempt.
Navarro’s defense team has requested a maximum prison sentence of six months and a reduction of the fine to $200. They emphasized that Navarro’s conviction is unrelated to the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and that he should not be labeled as an insurrectionist.
This is not the first instance of someone facing jail time for refusing to testify about the events of January 6 to Congress. Steve Bannon, a former White House chief strategist, was sentenced to four months in prison in 2022, although his sentence is currently on hold pending an appeal.
Prosecutors drew parallels between Navarro and Bannon, accusing Navarro of exploiting his notoriety throughout the case. They claimed that Navarro used press conferences, books, and podcasts to showcase his disregard for government processes and the law.
Navarro’s sentencing is scheduled for January 25.
