The former White House adviser was found guilty on two counts of criminal contempt for refusing to cooperate with a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.
Former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro outside the federal court in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 31. Navarro was found guilty on two counts of criminal contempt for defying a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the Capitol.
A federal jury deliberated for less than four hours before issuing its verdict. Navarro, 74, is now the second former aide to the former president to be prosecuted for not cooperating with the select committee. That line of defense was dismissed, however, ahead of Navarro's trial in a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta. With his conviction, Navarro now faces up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000 for each charge.
