Just after Trump aide Peter Navarro was convicted of contempt for defying a congressional subpoena, his lawyer is calling for a mistrial, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports.
Attorney Stan Woodward alleges that before issuing the verdict the jury may have seen protests over the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol when they left the courthouse.
