Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison for refusing to comply with a House January 6 Committee subpoena.

“The words executive privilege are not magical incantations,” presiding U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta said on Thursday. “It’s just not, it’s not a get-out-of-jail-free card.”

Last week, Department of Justice prosecutors told Mehta that Navarro “chose allegiance to former President Donald Trump over the rule of law.”

“The rioters who overran the Capitol on January 6, 2021, did not just attack a building – they assaulted the rule of law upon which this country was built and through which it endures. By flouting the Committee’s subpoena and its authority to investigate that assault, the Defendant exacerbated that assault, following the attack on Congress with his rejection of its authority,” the DOJ wrote in its sentencing memo asking that the maximum six-month sentence be imposed.

Meanwhile, Navarro had requested six-months probation.
