Former Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro has set up a legal defense fund on GiveSendGo, seeking support after being convicted of criminal contempt of Congress in relation to Liz Cheney's January 6 investigation.
Navarro's refusal to comply with a subpoena was based on his assertion that he was following Trump's directive to assert executive privilege. The jury deliberated for four hours before convicting Navarro on two counts of contempt. The Department of Justice, under President Biden, sought a six-month prison term for Navarro, but he was ultimately sentenced to four months.
During his sentencing hearing, Navarro briefly delivered remarks. Last year, he was arrested and placed in handcuffs, leg irons, and a cell after being intercepted at the airport. Navarro faced two contempt counts, one for failing to produce documents demanded by the committee and another for failing to appear for subpoenaed testimony before House investigators.
Navarro's legal defense fund on GiveSendGo provides an opportunity for individuals to contribute to his defense against the charges. The fund aims to support Navarro as he fights against what he believes to be an unconstitutional investigation by the January 6 Committee, led by Liz Cheney. By donating to the fund, supporters can help Navarro navigate the legal process and ensure that his rights are protected.
The conviction of Navarro and the subsequent sentencing have raised questions about the extent of executive privilege and the limits of congressional subpoenas. As the legal battle continues, Navarro's case serves as a reminder of the ongoing political and legal fallout from the events of January 6, and the deep divisions that persist in American politics.
