Former Trump adviser convicted of contempt for defying Jan 6 panel subpoena
economictimes.indiatimes.comNavarro, US former President Donald Trump's trade advisor, has been convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the White House committee investigating the US Capitol attack that took place on January 6, 2021, CNN reported.
«It's a sad day for America, not 'cause… they were guilty verdicts because I can't come out and have an honest, decent conversation with the people of America,» Navarro told reporters outside the courthouse after he was interrupted by protesters.
«People of America, I want you to understand that this is the problem we have right here — this kind of divide in our country between the woke Marxist left and everybody else here. And this is nuts,» CNN quoted Navarro saying.
After the verdict was read, Navarro's lawyers sought a mistrial, raising concerns about any influence alleged protestors may have had when jurors took a break outdoors Thursday afternoon.
