TL;DR

Former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro has been convicted of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Navarro is the second ex-aide to Trump to be prosecuted for lack of cooperation with the committee.
