Peter Navarro's Bid for New Trial Rejected

Former Trump Official Convicted of Contempt of Congress Faces Sentencing on January 25

Peter Navarro, a former Trump White House official, has lost his bid for a new trial after being convicted of contempt of Congress.
Navarro was found guilty for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Navarro's lawyers argued that the jury may have been improperly influenced by political protesters during a break outside the courthouse.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta rejected this argument, stating that Navarro failed to demonstrate any prejudice resulted from the jury's break.
Navarro's sentencing is scheduled for January 25.
