Former Trump White House advisor Peter Navarro has been indicted by a federal grand jury for criminal contempt of Congress over his refusal to cooperate with Nancy Pelosi’s illegitimate House committee probe into the Capitol riot on January 6. Navarro was jailed by FBI representatives. The Department of Justice formerly jailed another previous Trump consultant, Stephen Bannon, for likewise declining to adhere to a subpoena from the committee.
Navarro has actually been outspoken about his views on the committee, which he has actually described as “invalid.” He is likewise taking legal action against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the committee’s actions.
The previous consultant declares that he has executive benefit in the matter since he was working for previous President Donald Trump at the time, and he was still in the White House.
While speaking to Fox News prior to his arrest, Navarro called any possible prosecution of him “domestic terrorism.”
Speaking with Fake News MSNBC earlier, Navarro stated he would “lead the charge” to pursue charges versus Biden and leading Democrats if Republicans win in 2024.
“You bet your a** that I will lead the charge,” Navarro said. “I will take Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin and Nancy Pelosi and Rosa DeLauro — all of those clowns and kangaroos — I’ll take Biden and every single senior staff member in there–”
“And do what?” host Ari Melber asked.
“Hit them with subpoenas,” Navarro said. “We’ll start with the impeachment of Biden for Ukraine, the southern border, all manner of things he is guilty of and we’ll subpoena his senior staff.”

“I will push as hard as I can to use the same B.S. the Democrats are using now to try to put me in prison for standing up for principle,” Navarro continued. “If they want to play that game, we’ll play it right back. They’ll hit us, we hit them back harder. That’s not what I want, Ari. Let me be clear. I do not want that.”
Navarro is looking at two counts, each of which might lead to between 30 days and a year of prison time and a fine of as much as $100,000, if he is found guilty.
According to the filing, district attorneys desired the indictment to be kept under seal to prevent him from tampering or leaving with proof.
“Public disclosure risks alerting the Defendant of the Indictment of the before the Government’s arrest operation is executed,” the filing said. “This would give the Defendant the opportunity to flee, tamper with witnesses or evidence, or take other steps to interfere with the criminal case.”
Navarro is set up to appear in court at 2:30 p.m. local time in DC. He was still in custody at the time of publication.
Bannon will be going to trial this summertime.
The hyper-partisan Democrat-dominated House committee has likewise asked for the arrests of previous White House chief of personnel Mark Meadows and ex-White House assistant Dan Scavino.
