Jury convicts Navarro on both contempt-of-Congress counts

Reporting and findings

  1. convicted

    A D.C. federal jury found Navarro guilty on one count for refusing document production and one for refusing deposition testimony. The court had ruled he lacked sufficient evidence of a Trump invocation of executive privilege. The verdict is a criminal conviction, distinct from the committee's referral and from the later four-month sentence already recorded elsewhere in the corpus.

Summary and current status

The verdict established willful default on the committee's document and deposition demands; sentencing followed in January 2024.

Convictions affirmed on appeal in 2026
