Former top Trump aide Peter Navarro indicted by grand jury for contempt of Congress
Former top Trump White House aide Peter Navarro has been indicted by a grand jury on two counts of contempt of Congress, according to court documents.
"While today's indictment of Peter Navarro was the correct decision by the Justice Department, we find the decision to reward Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino for their continued attack on the rule of law puzzling. Mr. Meadows and Mr. Scavino unquestionably have relevant knowledge about President Trump's role in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the events of January 6th," said select committee Chairman Bennie G.
Navarro, 72, made his first appearance in federal court Friday afternoon, after the indictment was unsealed Friday. He said he'd represent himself to avoid expensive legal fees and was joined by a court-appointed attorney for assistance. Navarro claimed he had told prosecutors to contact a lawyer on Wednesday, seeming to indicate a willingness to cooperate with them, but he was instead taken into custody at the airport, where he planned to board a flight to Nashville for a TV appearance. The government, he said, was playing"hardball" and was pursuing a"bad faith projection."
