    Trump advisor Peter Navarro guilty in contempt of Congress case (cnbc.com)

    A jury on Thursday convicted former Trump White House trade advisor Peter Navarro of two counts of criminal contempt of Congress. Navarro faces up to a year in prison, and U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta scheduled his sentencing for January 12.

    Navarro had said he failed to comply with a congressional subpoena — which sought documents and his testimony to a House committee investigating efforts to reverse the 2020 election results — because former President Donald Trump instructed him to assert executive privilege.

     

    “Peter Navarro made a choice. He chose not to comply with the congressional subpoena. Our government only works when people play by the rules,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Aloi told jurors in closing arguments in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
