Former Donald Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro was convicted of contempt of Congress on Thursday for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee relating to their investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Calling the situation "nuts," he told reporters outside the courthouse that he's "willing to go to prison to settle this issue," according to CNN.
"We knew going in what the verdict was going to be," Navarro said, making mention of a pledge to appeal based on executive privilege issues. He'll join another ex-Trump aide, Steve Bannon, in that endeavor. Last year, Bannon was likewise convicted of contempt, facing two counts of his own.
