Read our privacy policy Former Trump administration trade adviser Peter Navarro on Friday pleaded not guilty to the two counts of criminal contempt of congress on which he was indicted earlier this month. Mr Navarro, who served as the head of the National Trade Council under Donald Trump, faces up to two years behind bars should a jury convict him on charges that he refused to honour subpoenas commanding him to produce documents and appear to give evidence before the House of Representatives select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Judge Mehta scheduled a 17 November trial date after agreeing with prosecutors that delaying Mr Navarro’s trial for a book tour was “not in the public interest”. For his part, Judge Mehta told Mr Navarro that the issues he wanted litigated in the lawsuit, including whether the select committee’s subpoena was issued with a valid legislative purpose, could be dealt with as part of the criminal case against him.
