Former Trump White House Official Heading To Prison

WASHINGTON (AP) — Another Trump White House official convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack has been sentenced to four months behind bars. Peter Navarro was the second Trump aide convicted of contempt of Congress and was sentenced Thursday. Steve Bannon also got four months but is free pending appeal. Navarro served as a trade adviser under President Donald Trump and promoted the Republican’s baseless claims of voter fraud after he lost the 2020 election. Navarro was found guilty of defying a subpoena for documents and a deposition from the House Jan. 6 committee. Navarro’s attorneys have filed a notice of appeal.
