He refused the calls of Congress, the former adviser of President Trump is sentenced to prison

Former adviser to President Donald Trump Peter Navarro has been convicted of contempt of Congress and refusing to cooperate in an investigation into the 2021 US Congressional riots.

Prosecutors said Navarro acted "above the law" by ignoring a subpoena from a congressional investigation. He faces up to a year in prison on each of the two counts of contempt. Another Trump ally, Steve Bannon, was convicted of similar charges last year and is free pending appeal.

Navarro, a former senior adviser, declined a subpoena from the US House select committee in February 2022, and did not attend to testify before the panel. He had cited executive privilege, which allows certain White House communications to be kept secret.

Navarro was indicted in June 2022 and arrested by FBI agents at a Washington airport while boarding a flight to Nashville, Tennessee.
