Peter Navarro, a former Trump administration official, has recently made headlines for being found guilty of contempt of Congress for his refusal to cooperate with the investigation into the January 6th Capitol riots. This refusal led to Navarro being sentenced to four months in prison for defying a congressional subpoena from the House committee probing the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Navarro, born on July 15, 1949, is an American economist and author who served in the Trump administration as the Assistant to the President, Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, and the national Defense Production Act policy coordinator. His involvement in the Trump administration and subsequent legal troubles have kept him in the public eye, drawing attention to his actions and decisions during his time in office.
