TL;DR Summary

Former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro has been convicted of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Navarro is the second ex-aide to Trump to be prosecuted for lack of cooperation with the committee. Prosecutors argued that Navarro "made a choice" not to comply with the subpoena, while his attorney contested the simplicity of the subpoena and argued that his non-compliance was not willful. Navarro's defense team did not call any witnesses, and if convicted, he plans to raise legal issues on appeal.
