Ex-Trump Adviser Navarro Sentenced to Four Months, Claims Violation of Constitutional Rights

Navarro plans to appeal to the Supreme Court, arguing his sentencing is part of a larger effort to target former President Trump.

Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Navarro argues that the sentencing violates the Constitution’s separation of powers and interferes with the ability of executive privilege to provide effective presidential decision making.
Navarro, 74, believes his four-month prison sentence is effectively a 'death sentence' and plans to appeal his case to the Supreme Court.
Navarro claims that the sentencing is part of a larger effort to put former President Donald Trump in prison.
Steve Bannon, a former White House adviser, was also sentenced to four months in prison on similar charges, but has yet to serve time pending his appeal.
