Peter Navarro, former Trump adviser, pleads not guilty to contempt of Congress charges
Former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro pleaded not guilty to contempt of
Congress charges on Friday after not cooperating with the House's ongoing
January 6 investigation.
Navarro is charged with contempt of Congress after failing to appear for testimony or turn over documents in the
House select committee's investigation. While he did not testify, he has done many media appearances and written a book, frequently talking about his conversations with
former President Donald Trump and his interest in blocking
Trump's election loss in 2020.
Navarro has another book coming out in September. If convicted, he would face a
mandatory minimum jail sentence of one month.
