<p>A grand jury indicted former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro on Friday on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the House committee investigating the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.</p>
<p>One count charged that Navarro failed to appear for a deposition by the committee. The other charge is related to his alleged failure to produce documents requested under a subpoena by the House committee, according to the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/peter-navarro-indicted-contempt-congress">Department of Justice</a>.</p>
<p>Each count carries a penalty of up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine. The committee subpoenaed Navarro in February for documents and a deposition based on the committee’s belief that he possessed “information relevant to the committee’s investigation,” the subpoena <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/press-release/file/1510231/download">said</a>.</p>
<p>Navarro “reportedly worked with Steve Bannon and others to develop and implement a plan to delay and [sic] Congress’s certification of, and ultimately change the outcome of, the November 2020 presidential election,” the subpoena said, according to the indictment.</p>
<p>Navarro is expected to appear in court Friday at 2:30 p.m. ET in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>Navarro is the second top adviser to former President Donald Trump to be indicted by a grand jury with charges related to the January 6 committee. The committee, which Republicans have slammed as the government weaponized against the GOP, indicted former Trump aid Bannon in November on similar charges.</p>
<p>Bannon was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/steve-bannon-surrenders-after-being-indicted-on-contempt-of-congress-charges">indicted</a> on two counts of contempt of Congress for allegedly failing to abide by a subpoena for a deposition and for documents related to the January 6 riot.</p>
<p>The House committee investigating January 6 has referred multiple former top members of Trump’s staff to the Department of Justice, including Dan Scavino and Mark Meadows, both former Trump chiefs of staff, according to <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/06/03/peter-navarro-indicted-congress-contempt-trump">Axios</a>.</p>
<p>The House has voted, mostly along party lines, to recommend all four men – Navarro, Bannon, Scavino, and Meadows – to the Justice Department for contempt of Congress charges. The DOJ has yet to act against Scavino and Meadows, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/03/us/politics/peter-navarro-contempt-jan-6.html">The New York Times</a>.</p>
