Peter Navarro, an advisor to former US President Donald Trump, speaks to members of the media at the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington, DC, on September 5, 2023. AFPPIX: Former US president Donald Trump’s trade adviser Peter Navarro was found guilty on Thursday of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House of Representatives committee that investigated the 2021 attack on the Capitol.
The verdict in Navarro’s case in federal court in Washington came after a trial that featured just one day of testimony from three prosecution witnesses, former staff members of the select committee. The defence did not call any witnesses or present any evidence. The verdict represented a victory for the justice department and the now-defunct select committee, which moved aggressively to secure testimony from many of Trump’s top advisers before being disbanded when Republicans took control of the House in January.
