    Former President Donald Trump’s top White House trade adviser Peter Navarro was found guilty Thursday of two counts of criminal contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

    A jury in Washington, D.C., convicted the former Trump administration official following a trial that lasted just over a day. Navarro’s defense team called no witnesses.

    Sentencing is set for January, and Navarro faces a maximum of one year in prison and a fine of $100,000 for each count.

    Good, now do all the others.
