WASHINGTON — Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro was convicted Thursday of criminal contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena related to the Official Oilers Football Earl Campbell T-shirt In addition,I will do this plot to overturn the 2020 election. The jury deliberated for about four hours at a federal courthouse in Washington before it found Navarro guilty of two counts of contempt for refusing to testify before the House Jan. 6 committee and turn over subpoenaed documents. Each count carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in prison, in addition to a maximum fine of $100,000. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta scheduled sentencing for Jan. 12. Speaking to reporters outside the courthouse after the verdict, Navarro seemed more upset about the protesters standing behind him. “Sad day for America, not because of the guilty verdicts, but because I can’t come out and have an honest, decent conversation with the people of America,” he said, complaining about the “divide” in the country and “the woke Marxist left.” “This is nuts,” he added. Navarro said he wasn’t surprised by the quick verdict. “We knew going in what the verdict was going to be,” he said. “That is why this is going to the appeals court.” One of his attorneys, John Rowley, said, “This case is not over by a long shot.” Navarro’s lawyers also moved for a mistrial after the verdict was read, telling the judge that the jury had gone outside for a break during deliberations and would have been exposed to protesters outside the courthouse with signs about Jan. 6. The jury said
it had reached a verdict about 10 minutes after the Official Oilers Football Earl Campbell T-shirt In addition,I will do this break, Navarro lawyer Stanley Woodward said. Mehta told Woodward to file a motion based on his concerns and said he would consider the issue later. In his closing argument Thursday morning, Woodward said the government had failed to prove Navarro was guilty of criminal contempt of Congress. “For the government to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, it also has to prove that Dr. Navarro’s failure to comply with the subpoena was not the result of accident, mistake or inadvertence,” Woodward said, stressing the final three words repeatedly. “This case is about those three words,” he said, adding that the government had failed to tell jurors where Navarro was when he was supposed to have appeared for his deposition with the Jan. 6 committee. On rebuttal, prosecutor John Crabb said: “Who cares where he was? What matters is where he wasn’t.” Navarro, 74, has said he didn’t appear because former President Donald Trump had told him he should assert executive privilege in the case, although Trump never communicated that to the Jan. 6 committee or submitted any information in Navarro’s case saying he’d done so. Prosecutors said Navarro had a duty to show up anyway and answer what questions he could. “Contempt means disrespecting the rule of law,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Aloi said in her closing argument. She said Navarro “knew he was commanded to appear and produce documents, and he chose not to for whatever reason.” Recommended POLITICS NEWS Paxton impeachment draws tears as
