(TheRedAlertNews.com) – BREAKING NEWS ALERT: Just moments ago, Peter Navarro, who served as a trade advisor to former President Donald Trump, was sentenced to prison.
Specifically, as the Daily Caller recounts:
“Navarro…was sentenced Thursday to four months in jail for contempt of Congress after defying a Jan. 6 subpoena.
“Navarro was sentenced to four months in jail and ordered to pay a fine of $9,500.00, according to breaking reports.
“Speaking to reporters outside the courthouse prior to his sentencing, Navarro said his case ‘has turned out to be a very important, landmark constitutional case that is going to resolve important issues about the constitutional separation of powers as well as the integrity, efficiency, of presidents and decision making.’
“U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta said the phrase “executive privilege” is not a “magical incantation” or a “get out of jail free card” to defy a subpoena, according to NBC News.
“‘What I find disappointing is that in all of this, even today, there’s little acknowledgment of what your obligation is as an American – to cooperate with Congress, to provide them with information that they’re seeking,’ Mehta reportedly said. ‘Fine, you think it’s a political hatchet job, it’s domestic terrorists running the committee. They had a job to do and you made it harder. It’s really that simple.'” [emphasis added]
