A federal grand jury has indicted former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress after he refused to cooperate in the House January 6 committee’s investigation.
According to the Justice Department, Navarro will make an appearance in court Friday at 2:30 p.m. ET in Washington.
He faces two contempt counts: one for his failure to produce documents demanded by the committee and the second for failing to show up for subpoenaed testimony before House investigators.
Navarro was Trump’s trade advisor and becomes the first person who had a current role in the Trump administration at the time of the 1/6 attack to be indicted for contempt of Congress. Steve Bannon has also been indicted for contempt of Congress, but was years removed from his time in the White House by 1/6.
