A trump white house staff member was found guilty of violation of Congress for disrupting the investigation into the attack on the US capitol on January 6, 2021, is will appear to be sentenced. The authorities seek that the judge give Peter Navarro 6 months in jail and a fine of USD 200,000. He was the next trump associate to be punished with contempt of Congress. Navarro was ruled guilty of escaping a house committee on January 6 deposition and a subpoena for documents.
Following serving for then-president Donald Trump as a trade strategist in the white house, Navarro endorsed the Republic’s ludicrous claims of massive electoral fraud in the 2020 election, which he lost. Claiming that he was reluctant to work closely with the committee due to Trump’s use of the executive privilege, Navarro has pledged to challenge the panel’s choice. But because he did not succeed in providing any proof that Trump had truly invoked it, the judge disallowed him from putting up the subject in the trial.
Prosecutors for the justice department allege that even before Navarro understood exactly what the committee was asking for, he attempted to duck behind claims of privilege, demonstrating arrogance for the committee that ought to carry a greater punishment
On the other side defence counsel proclaimed that Trump had invoked executive privilege putting Navarro in a negative position and demanding for probationary time of USD 100. Navarro was an additional Trump assistant to be punished for disdain of Congress. Steve Bannon, a former analyst for the White House, was found criminal on two counts and given four months imprisonment. Notwithstanding this, he has been free to appeal his conviction.
Navarro received a jail term after his appeal for a fresh trial hadn’t been granted by the judge. His attorneys were alleging that during their break from deliberations, the jurors could have been excessively misled by political attendees outside the courthouse. The jury condemned him of two misdemeanor offenses of contempt of Congress shortly after their break.
