'He blew it off': Jury hears closing arguments in Peter Navarro's contempt of Congress trial
A jury is set to decide the fate of former Trump adviser Peter Navarro after he faced trial for contempt of Congress.
In a trial that lasted just three days, a jury heard that Navarro failed to comply with a congressional subpoena because he did not want to share information with a Jan. 6 investigation.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Aloi made remarks to the jury before District Judge Amit Mehta issued final instructions.

"Peter Navarro made a choice," Aloi reportedly said. "Defendant was more than happy to share that knowledge with the public, on the news, with anyone that asked — except for the congressional committee that could do something about it."
"He blew it off," DOJ attorney John Crabb added. "That shows you it was intentional."
