Navarro said the verdict had nothing to do with contempt, but rather because of his association with Trump

Former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro has been found guilty of two counts of criminal contempt of Congress for his refusal to cooperate with a congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol Building.

Navarro, 74, was convicted by a Washington, DC, jury after four hours of deliberation on Thursday — one day after the start of the trial — over his failure to produce documents and comply with a subpoena request for testimony issued last year by the House Jan. 6 Select Committee. --
