On Thursday, former Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro was found guilty of criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena issued in relation to Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 investigation.
Navarro invoked executive privilege as the reason for his refusal to comply with the subpoena, citing instructions from President Trump.
After four hours of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict convicting Navarro on two counts of contempt.
“The two counts each carry a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in prison, in addition to a maximum fine of $100,000,” NBC News reported.
NBC News reported:
Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro was convicted Thursday of criminal contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena related to the plot to overturn the 2020 election.
The jury deliberated for about four hours before finding Navarro guilty of two counts of contempt for refusing to testify before the House Jan. 6 committee and turn over subpoenaed documents.
The two counts each carry a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in prison, in addition to a maximum fine of $100,000.
In June 2022, a federal grand jury indicted Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress following his refusal to comply with the requests of Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee.
Navarro was charged with two counts of contempt; one for his failure to submit documents requested by the committee and the other for not appearing before House investigators after receiving a subpoena.
Navarro stated that he was placed in leg irons and incarcerated last year.
“They intercepted me gettin’ on the plane and then they put me in handcuffs, they bring me here. They put me in leg irons. They stick me in a cell,” Navarro said to reporters after his arrest last summer.
Navarro’s federal case was assigned to US District Court Judge Amit Mehta, an appointee of former President Obama.
Judge Mehta set the sentencing date for January 12th, 2024.

The people who did this need a lesson on the CONSTITUTION. They also need a Jury that isnt Corrupted by their liberal lies and pandering by the 4th Reich.
These pukes of the KKK, the Brown & Black Shirts need a TRIBUNAL, but then thats how Conservatives do it. Like the setup since 2016 continuing on today and those who participated should be shamed and removed from any power and office of any kind
Yes.! And why is it rhe Communist Democrats have ignored subpoenas many times in the past and nothing happened to them..?
Two tiered Justice, what bullsh**.!
Two of Obama’s people were held in contempt of Congress and they got away with no jail time. What the devil is going on here? This man should never be sentenced to any time!
No wonder the US is becoming a dumping ground of illegals from all over the world, many of then wishing to destroy this country. The US is becoming a laughing stock and China, N Korea, Iran are walking in to take over. Europeans don’t even see it. The leftist Dems, deep state and others bought by Soros and others who are running this country are the downfall of a once great shinning light for the world.
Pelosi was behind the J6 RIOTS. THAT WAS HER WAY OF KEEPING TRUMP OUT OF THE WH PERMANENTLY! As far as Trump questioning the 2020 Election, he had every right. I just read an article. It was about 20 states of FRAUD! GOD BLESS THE USA!
And now they are taking Trump off the ballot. Guess we have to write in Donald J Trump on the ballots. Wonder how many will be counted. Under the current administration and lefties controling voting, probably none. What a sad state of affairs.
The Dem won’t quit cheating and lying. Biden lies every time he is on TV> We all know who won in 2020/ Trump 2024!!!!!!!!
Gonna be appealed. Navarro won’t spend any significant time in the big house.
many gov’t. “agencies” in Amerika are in contempt of congress, for not providing subpoenaed documents, for months, that congress has asked for. No one arrested or even questioned? Fire them. STOP giving them my tax money !
