A key advisor to former President Donald Trump was sentenced Thursday to serve four months in prison for doing exactly what President Joe Biden&#8217;s son Hunter did just a few weeks ago.
Peter Navarro, who advised Trump on matters of trade and manufacturing, was subpoenaed to appear before the January 6th Committee for a deposition in March of 2022 and was ordered to provide documents to the committee one month prior — neither of which he did.
The Justice Department charged Navarro as a private citizen several months later, on June 2, 2022.
In addition to his <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-white-house-official-peter-navarro-learns-sentenced-months-defying-jan-6-subpoena" target="_blank" rel="noopener">four-month sentence</a>, Navarro was ordered to pay a fine of $9,500 — reduced by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta from the six months and $200,000 the Justice Department had requested. As the DOJ noted in the request, every individual count of contempt of Congress can carry 30 days to one year in jail, and a fine of up to $100,000.

Peter Navarro saved lives by urging. Trump to close the border to China in the first days of COVID. Now a DC court is jailing him for what Hunter Biden did &#8211; contempt of Congress. But Navarro felt he was bound by privilege not to comply with a J6 subpoena <a href="https://t.co/sNEtHsRjqb">https://t.co/sNEtHsRjqb</a>

A similar situation — absent the Justice Department taking action — has played out with President Biden&#8217;s embattled son in recent weeks.
Hunter Biden <a href="https://apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-congress-investigation-impeachment-0226bb1041d7b5c10bc8c33e5d98b5e0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defied a subpoena</a> to appear before the House Oversight Committee for a closed-door deposition. Instead, the younger Biden claimed repeatedly that he would testify publicly and even staged a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-shows-up-to-capitol-defies-subpoena-for-house-deposition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> on the opposite side of the Capitol from where he had been ordered to appear.
Kimberly Guilfoyle summed up the comparison in a post on X, saying, &#8220;What an absolute disgrace. Peter Navarro sentenced to prison for refusing to play along with the Democrats’ illegitimate sham J6 circus While Hunter Biden defies a subpoena, mocks the entire process, and gets to stroll through Capitol Hill. Justice is dead.&#8221;

&#8220;Hunter Biden sentenced to 4 months for defying subpoena? &#8230; Oh wait, that&#8217;s Peter Navarro&#8216;s sentence,&#8221; another added.
