Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro is suing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her politically motivated January 6 select committee for holding him in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena.
Navarro faces possible criminal charges after the House last month voted 220 to 203, mostly along party lines, calling on the Justice Department to prosecute him and Dan Scavino, who was President Donald Trump’s former deputy chief of staff. Both men insist executive privilege prevents their cooperation with subpoenas from the Democratic-led committee, with Navarro arguing that President Biden had no authority to waive Trump’s executive privilege or his former adviser’s “‘testimonial immunity,” the Daily Mail reported.
”We have two people who are flagrantly, brazenly defying the authority of the House of Representatives of the United States,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., a member of the committee, said at the time of the vote.
