A federal judge sentenced former Trump adviser Peter Navarro to four months in prison Thursday for ignoring subpoenas from the House select panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, when handing down the sentence at a hearing Thursday, told Navarro that he faced “circumstances of your own making.”
“You are not a victim. You are not a victim of political prosecution. You are not,” Mehta said. “They had a job and you made it harder, it is really that simple.”
