A US jury has found former Trump administration official Peter Navarro guilty of contempt of Congress.
Navarro, a former trade advisor to President Donald Trump, had refused to comply with a subpoena to appear at the House Committee investigating the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.
He is the second Trump administration official to be found guilty of contempt of Congress.
Last year, Mr Trump's former campaign manager Steve Bannon was found guilty and sentenced to four months in prison. He is appealing the conviction.
Navarro said he too intends to appeal the verdict, which came at the end of a two-day trial.
He was sought by the January 6 Committee over his frequent media appearances after the November 2020 presidential election in which he cast doubt on the election result and made specious claims of voter irregularities.
The committee report stated that the untrue claims over the election and its conduct laid the groundwork for what became an attack on the Capitol building on the day the votes of the Electoral College were being counted.
Navarro produced a three-part report on alleged voting irregularities and detailed a scheme drawn up with Steve Bannon, known as the Green Bay Sweep, aimed at overturning the results of the election in the key swing states that had voted for President Joe Biden, in a book he published in 2021.
Navarro claimed he had been instructed by Donald Trump not to cooperate with the congressional inquiry, but he was unable to produce any evidence to that effect in pre-trial hearings.
Last week, Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Navarro could not claim for himself executive privilege and assert his immunity from having to testify to Congress.
Other key figures, including Lt General Mike Flynn and Roger Stone, avoided prosecution by turning up at the committee, but declined to answer most questions, as they are entitled to do under the fifth amendment of the US constitution.
