WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro has pleaded not guilty to contempt of Congress after he refused to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Navarro, 72, appeared Friday in federal court in Washington to be arraigned on the two-count indictment. He was charged with one contempt count for failing to appear for a deposition before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack and a second charge for failing to produce documents the committee requested. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta scheduled a trial for November.
