Prosecutors asked a judge to sentence former Trump adviser Peter Navarro to 6 months in prison for convictions on two counts of contempt of Congress.
Jurors convicted Navarro in September for not complying with a subpoena for documents and testimony from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
In a court filing late Thursday ahead of a sentencing set for Jan. 25, prosecutors argued Navarro “chose allegiance to former President Donald Trump over the rule of law,” and made bad faith arguments that Trump invoked executive privilege to keep him from testifying.
