LEGAL/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Peter Navarro, a trade adviser to former United States President Donald Trump, has been convicted of two misdemeanour counts of criminal contempt after prosecutors said he defied a congressional subpoena compelling him to submit evidence about the 2021 Capitol attack.

A 12-member jury deliberated for four hours on Thursday [September 7, 2023] before handing in the verdict in a federal district court in Washington, DC.

Navarro is now the second major Trump ally to be convicted of contempt, after former White House adviser Steve Bannon was likewise convicted in July 2022 for dodging a subpoena.”
