In this video, we will report on the sentencing of Peter Navarro, a former trade adviser to Donald Trump, who was convicted of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack. Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison and fined $9,500 by US District Judge Amit Mehta, who said Navarro’s conduct was "an affront to the rule of law and the separation of powers"1.

We will also explain why Navarro refused to cooperate with the committee, and how he claimed that Trump had invoked executive privilege to prevent him from testifying. We will discuss why the judge rejected that argument, and how he compared Navarro’s behavior to that of the rioters who stormed the Capitol1.

We will also look at the implications of Navarro’s conviction and sentence for the ongoing investigation into the January 6 insurrection, and how it could affect Trump’s legal troubles and political ambitions. We will mention that Navarro is the second former Trump aide to be sentenced for contempt of Congress, after Steve Bannon, who was sentenced to four months in prison in 202212. We will also note that Trump faces multiple criminal and civil charges related to his role in the January 6 attack and other matters, but remains the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in 202413.
